Confirmation with YFP-2x Tags

In order to confirm that the Miraculin and Brazzein are able to be expressed in E. Coli we attached a YFP-2x tag sequence to the termini of both proteins. The proteins were placed under an IPTG-expressible promoter and used spectrophotometry to determine the level of YFP fluorescence against a baseline, untagged protein. Figure 1 shows relative-fluorescence at times post induction. In all circumstances the levels of YFP-fluorescence increased
