Efficient production and purification of functional bacteriorhodopsin with a wheat-germ cell-free system and a combination of Fos-choline and CHAPS detergents.

abstract：PURPOSE:Recently, the newly identified embryonic stem cell marker, Zinc finger and SCAN domain containing 4 gene (ZSCAN4), which plays a key role in genomic stability by regulating telomere elongation, was shown to co-localize with TRF1 foci. This suggests that the interaction of ZSCAN4 with TRF1 functions in regulatio...
