| Research Abstract |
Halophilic proteins, acidic proteins with high content of negative charge, can function under high salt conditions without salting-out effects of salts. High solubility and negative charge repulsion make halophilic protein resistant to various stresses which induce denaturaion of protein, and thus, holophilic proteins are highly resistant to denaturation (resistant to irreversible-aggregation). We isolated several genes of halophilic proteins, characterized, and developed tag to construct fusion proteins.
