Scientific BackgroundMaltose binding protein (MBP) is encoded by the malE gene of E.coli. MBP is often used in protein expression studies because it creates a stable fusion product that does not appear to interfere with the bioactivity of the protein of interest. It also allows for its easy purification from bacterial extracts under mild conditions.
