How about just co-transfecting with two different plasmids which have different selection markers? I've done it a lot, and it seems to work fine...

Dear CCP4bb,

We would like to co-express proteins under Se-Met conditions for de-novo phasing of a complex. One of the proteins expresses much better with a GST-tag compared with a his-tag.

As its binding site is at its N-terminus, we are hoping to co-express it as a C-terminal GST tag recombinant. So far however, we haven't found any commercially available duet vectors with such a tag. We would truly appreciate if anyone knows of the availability of such vectors, or has any suggestions on similar vectors.

Thanks so much!
Ming
