FLAG tag the octapeptide sequence and artificial epitope binds to the FLAG antibody. I want to know in which region of the FLAG antibody does the FLAG epitope binds ?
Antibodies bind their epitopes in the complementarity determining region, which is within the Fab part of the molecule.
Hi Puneeta, I have heard from many researchers that the FLAG-tag purification is very expensive and not worth the cost.
In general white opaque plates are recommended for luminescence, transparent for absorbance and black for fluorescence assays respectively. My question is if we can use black bottom plates for...
