Functional expression of human cone pigments using recombinant baculovirus: compatibility with histidine tagging and evidence for N-glycosylation.

abstract：:The biochemical properties of the p51 subunit of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) were studied in order to understand its role in the heterodimeric form p66/p51 found in virions. A recombinant form of RT, p51/p51, expressed in yeast, was purified and characterized. The enzyme was affinity labeled using a 5' modified o...
