Low solubility and stability of Escherichia coli produced single chain variable fragments (scFvs) restrict their applications. Here the authors report a 33-residue peptide tag which simultaneously increases the solubility and thermostability of multiple scFvs produced in Escherichia coli SHuffle strain.
