Depositor Comments

To design iLight, a full-length bacterial phytochrome IsPadC from Idiomarina sp. A28L was used as an original template. First, diguanylyl cyclase effector in IsPadC was removed, then following mutations were introduced: I68F, H80Q, A86T, R90S S242C, E274K, R295H I360V, and L464V. After that, iLight was human codon optimized for mammalian expression.

Purpose

Ready-to-use, high-purity DNA prep. DNA aliquots are suitable for use in mammalian cell transfections and other molecular biology applications.

Delivery

  • Amount 50 μg
  • Concentration 1 μg/μL
  • Pricing $495 USD
  • Storage 4 ℃ (short-term) or -20 ℃ (long-term)

Quality Control

Every DNA prep is verified by next-generation sequencing, confirming plasmid identity, sequence integrity, and absence of DNA contaminants. Concentration is confirmed to be within ±2.5% of the stated concentration.

Our production process has been validated to consistently yield endotoxin levels below 1.0 EU/μg. Individual lots are not tested for endotoxin.
