Background:

Maltose Binding Protein, also called MBP, is a member of the maltose/maltodextrin system of E.coli which is accountable for the uptake and efficient catabolism of maltodextrins. Maltose binding protein is a useful affinity tag that can increase the expression level and solubility of the MBP tagged protein. It promotes proper folding of the fusion protein, and it can be also used to prevent an insoluble form (inclusion bodies).
