Our research team found and utilized the unique amino acid sequence in Bacteriophytochrome as a novel epitope tag (U.S Patent No. US 9,580,479 B2)
​
(Bacteriophytochrome : An evolutionary ancient form of phytochrome,
a light sensory protein present in plants)
POP(2B8) tag (RDPLPFFPP)
​
POP (Phytochrome-Originated Peptide) epitope sequence (RDPLPFFPP, CGG GAC CCG TTG CCC TTT TTT CCA CCG) is a part of Deinococcus radiodurans Bacteriophytochrome (DrBphP)
