Periplasmic protein changes in response to over-expression of recombinant protein in escherichia coli

Because of its many beneficial features, Escherichia coli is widely used as host for recombinant protein production. However, one major disadvantage of using E. coli is the formation of inclusion body especially when the transgene is over-expressed. Therefore, an understanding of biochemical mechani...
