AmProtein Expression Technology
AmProtein has discovered a universal GC-rich method that leads to a strong DNA physical structure. This strong DNA structure makes the gene promoter and enhancer continuously exposed to transcriptional machinery and factors by preventing chromatin condensing. It is truly a 'chromatin opening element' for possibly all eukaryotic gene expression.
