Experiment

Our product aims to reach a high quality of “long-term monitor”, which means considerably stable expression of color is needed. Thus, we choose chromoprotein as our reporter protein due to its steadily expression and low half-life degradation rate. (See more in here)

cj-Blue

We add a LVA tag to cjBlue in order to accelerate its degrade speed. (See more in here)
