Recombinant Protein Services
GenScript can take your project directly from gene synthesis to protein production! Use our free rare codon analysis tool to see if your gene sequence is suboptimal, and explore means to boost your target protein expression.
"GenScript provides fast, professional protein synthesis services at very reasonable prices. By making it cost-effective to outsource protein production, GenScript has made it possible for my lab to focus on our own area of expertise and get
more research done. The detailed planning, updates, and reports that GenScript provides all of the quality control that one could ask for. I strongly recommend GenScript's protein production service."

1. OptimumGeneTM codon optimization technology for gene expression
GenScript's proprietary OptimumGeneTM Codon Optimization Technology can significantly increase the expression level of target proteins in most systems. Our advanced optimization takes the entire mRNA structure into consideration, as opposed to traditional optimization methodologies which only consider parts of the mRNA structure. The patent-pending OptimumGeneTM Codon Optimization Technology can typically increase the protein expression level by 10-fold in the E. coli system. View examples
2. Success rate and Extensive recombinant protein production experience:
We have delivered thousands of difficult recombinant proteins including trans-membrane proteins, secreted proteins, proteases, and other enzymes at success rate of >90%. The recombinant proteins we produced have been successfully used in target validation, enzyme characterization, antibody production, high-throughput screening (HTS), structural study, and SAR (Structure-activity relationships).
3. BacPowerTM technology and FoldArtTM protein refolding technology
Hard-to-express and hard-to-dissolve recombinant proteins are specifically tackled by our proprietary BacPowerTM technology and FoldArtTM protein refolding technology.
4. Comprehensive services:
GenScript can take your project directly from gene synthesis, to recombinant protein expression, stable cell line generation, antibody production and assay development.
5. High quality services:
GenScript provides high quality recombinant protein expression services to meet the requirements of high purity, high activity and speedy delivery. Our deliverables are available at the purity of >95%, and the endotoxin level of lower than 0.01 EU/µg.

1. Recombinant protein with biological activity:
Production and purification of proteins with biological activity is essential in drug discovery. Multifunctional units at GenScript secure successful delivery of bioactive recombinant proteins based on our state-of-the-art equipment and methodologies. A case study below shows groups of protein production and assay development teaming up to deliver
enzyme with qualified specific activity, higher than customer expected. After modifying the method of cell-breaking, we increase the final yield of recombinant protein of interest with purity of above 90%.

3. Protein refolding
Overproduction of proteins in E.coli can cause the formation of inactive, misfolded and insoluble protein aggregates. GenScript provides proprietary refolding technology to solve this problem. A case study shows that over 95% of the inclusion body is solublized and refolded. The purity of the refolded recombinant protein is more than 85%. The refolded recombinant protein is delivered in customized buffer.

4. Tag removal
Presence of epitope tag in recombinant protein may result in changes in protein structure, toxicity, and loss of bioactivity. To avoid these problems, tag removal after recombinant protein expression is one of additional requests from some customers. Shown below is a recombinant protein that is cleaved by SUMO protease and successfully isolated. About 80% tag free target protein with purity of >90% is recovered.
