Mambalgin
Mambalgin is a potent analgesic protein found in the venom of the Black Mamba snake (Dendroaspis polylepis). This protein has been found to inhibit acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) in the central and peripheral nervous systems of mice through intraplanter and intrathecal injections.

BactoInk
Our bacteria will be engineered to be used as a viable alternative to printer ink as well as pen ink. They will be transformed with fusion proteins composed of a cellulose binding domain(CBD) and a chroma protein, blue and red. The CBD will allow the bacteria to bind to paper and the various chroma proteins will give the ink color.
