Directed evolution for soluble and active periplasmic expression of bovine enterokinase in Escherichia coli

Abstract Bovine enterokinase light chain (EKL) is an industrially useful protease for accurate removal of affinity-purification tags from high-value biopharmaceuticals. However, recombinant expression in Escherichia coli produces insoluble inclusion bodies, requiring solubilisation, refolding, and a...
