The enhanced selectivity of tandem affinity purification (TAP) is due to:

A. two different tags?calmodulin-binding protein and protein A?that are fused to the protein of interest and allow consecutive rounds of affinity chromatography. B. the presence of a TEV cleavage site in the fusion protein. Cleavage of this site further purifies the protein by cleaving of the protein A tag. C. the fusion of a Gal4p DNA binding domain to the protein along with protein A. These two tags allow for purification of the fusion protein. D. the calmodulin-binding protein tag, which binds strongly to calmodulin. E. All of these choices contribute to the enhanced selectivity.
