Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Ye-Wei Shi"
- Ye-Wei Shi's research primarily focuses on the expression and purification of proteins, specifically targeting the functional domain of the human acetylcholine receptor alpha-subunit.
- In a notable study published in 2004, Shi employed a maltose binding protein to enhance the soluble expression and affinity purification of the alpha-subunit, improving the yield and functionality of the protein.
- The findings demonstrate a successful method for producing the human acetylcholine receptor alpha205 in an easily manageable E. coli system, paving the way for further research on receptor behavior and drug interactions.
