Our team did not have an assay to get quantitative measurements concerning the production of L-DOPA in our production assembly. However, by itself, L-DOPA will oxidize to melanin. As a result, to get qualitative results concerning our production assembly, we grew up our production cells in LB media containing 5 mM tyrosine and 0 mM tyrosine and then observed if a color change occurred.

Results

Overview    - Assembled and sequence verified Venus cassette plasmid and pp2551 cassette plasmid
    - Assembled the multigene sensing assembly
    - Tested another version of the sensing assembly and demonstrated that it works

Production Circuit
Our team did not have an assay to get quantitative measurements concerning the production of L-DOPA in our production assembly. However, by itself, L-DOPA will oxidize to melanin. As a result, to get qualitative results concerning our production assembly, we grew up our production cells in LB media containing 5 mM tyrosine and 0 mM tyrosine and then observed if a color change occurred. The diagram above shows such a color change. Our production assembly did observe a similar color change, but the change in color was not very pronounced.
