Interlab measurement study

We have finished the interlab experiments and get lots of results in the page of interlab.




Contribution of new parts

We have contributed 12 new biobricks for iGEM part registry and submitted 9 parts to iGEM headquarter.(Table 1)

Validation of composite parts’ function

We constructed three composite parts and all of their function have been validated:

(1) Part:BBa_K2354010 :monobody-GBP HS

Monobody was fused with gold binding protein and linked with 6×his tag. This fused protein can bind to the gold surface by the function of the gold-binding protein, and it can thus capture our ER-alpha/EDCs complex.



(2) Part:BBa_K2354011 :INP-ER-alpha HS

ER-alpha was fused with ice nucleating protein. This fused protein can be anchored to the membrane of E. coli via the function of ice nucleating protein and can bind to EDCs for detection via ER-alpha.



(3) Part:BBa_K2354012 :HRP-his tag

Horseradish peroxidase is a kind of peroxidase which uses heme as a cofactor, and it can degrade EDCs to the less toxic compounds. Moreover, we linked fused protein with 6×his tag for purification.
