Research paper thumbnail of Expression and high yield production of the catalytic domain of matrix metalloproteinase 12 and of an active mutant with increased solubility

The chosen construct spans residues 106-267 of the whole MMP-12 and contains two additional methionines at positions 104-105. This is at variance with the previously published constructs which span residues 99-279 [J. Mol. Biol. 312 743] and 100-262 [J. Mol. Biol. 312 (2001) 731], respectively.
