 | A "tag" consisting of a specific amino acid sequence, usually a series of histidine residues (a "His-tag"), is attached to one terminus of the protein. |
 | As a result, when the lysate is passed over a chromatography column containing nickel, the histidine residues ligate the nickel and attach to the column while the untagged components of the lysate pass unimpeded. |
