eSpCAS9 Protein
Enhanced specificity Cas9-NLS from Streptococcus pyogenes, expressed in Escherichia coli
Newly engineered eSpCas9 enables the efficient targeted gene editing of established CRISPR systems with the benefit of reduced off-target effects. Point mutations in the chromosome-binding motif of SpCas9, as described by Slaymaker, et al., provide higher on-target fidelity without loss of cleavage efficiency.[1]
