Each predicted mass was calculated using ProteinProspector. N.D. indicates not detected. The His tag-R41 fragment consists of the His-tag-linker region and augurin (N32-R41) with calculated masses of 3257 and 1271 Da, respectively; after the subtraction of 18 Da due to the formation of peptide bond between the 3257- and 1271-Da fragments, the total predicted mass of the His tag-R41 fragment is therefore 4510 Da.
