Abstract
AbstractWith an ever-increasing demand for laboratory-grade Cas9 proteins by many groups advancing the use of CRISPR technology, a more efficient and scalable process for generating the proteins, coupled with rapid purification methods is in urgent demand. Here, we introduce a modified methodology for rapid purification of active SaCas9 protein within 24 hours. The product has over 90% protein purity. The simplicity and cost-effectiveness of such methodology will enable general labs to produce a sizable amount of Cas9 proteins, further accelerating the advancement of CRISPR/Cas9-based research.
