Auxin Inducible Degron (AID) System


To investigate the role of proteins in cells, gene knock down method is widely applied. Using the Auxin Inducible Degron (AID) System, you can degrade proteins fused with a degron (a small domain that can induce protein degradation) in a very short period of time.
