Talk:His tag

=His-tag versus poly histidine tag=


 * User Angela moved the his tag article to polyhistidine tag, because of a trademark issue. I have written several parts of the original article and I don't agree that a his-tag is the same as the poly histidine tag. The purification and detection methods that described in this article work for the his tag, but I am not whether everything can transferred to the poly histidine tag. The copy paste edit from Angela did not improve this article, but made it rather confusing by mixing things up.
 * The term his-tag is the most frequently used term in scientific literature and the term poly histidine tag is used less frequent.
