Team is registered!

Project is showcased on wiki

Project attributions clearly detailed

Safety forms submitted

Judging form completed

Parts documented on the registry

X (list #) parts submitted

Participated in the InterLab study

X parts characterized and documented

Worked closely with user groups to inform our design

Assisted Lethbridge High School with wet lab work and received help with education interviews

Collaborated with Florida State University (add details)

Provided simplified protocols and learning tools for the education system in collaboration with the Lethbridge High School Team

Addressed policy issues regarding cell-free systems

Assessed the biosecurity implications of our project

Developed and tested software tools for biocontainment and to mitigate dual-use

Improved X parts by optimizing coding sequences for optimal expression in E. coli and for simple purification

Demonstrated proof of concept for multi-protein purification to simplify the system




TX-TL Proteins

Test Overexpressions

We conducted test overexpressions of our constructs in BL21 DE3 Gold, an E. coli strain capable of overexpressing T7 RNA polymerase by induction with IPTG.

Multi-Protein Purification











tRNA

tRNA Purification











Validation Construct

In vitro Transcription

To confirm our ability to detect successful transcription, the spinach aptamer was in vitro transcribed using T7 RNA polymerase (previously purified) and purified by phenol chloroform extraction. Following addition of the fluorophore, DFHBI, fluorescence was measured using a fluorimeter. The fluorimeter data illustrates that fluorescence was observed following addition of DFHBI, with an excitation of 447nm and emission of 497nm.
