Polyhistidine-tag — A polyhistidine tag is an amino acid motif in proteins that consists of at least six histidine ( His ) residues, often at the N or C terminus of the protein. It is also known as hexa histidine tag, 6xHis tag, and by the trademarked name His tag… … Wikipedia
Protein tag — Protein tags are peptide sequences genetically grafted onto a recombinant protein. Often these tags are removable by chemical agents or by enzymatic means, such as proteolysis or intein splicing. Tags are attached to proteins for various purposes … Wikipedia
