Defined in two places: 1. max-width for all clients except Desktop Windows Outlook, allowing the email to squish on narrow but never go wider than 780px. 2.

The hybrid grid is more "fragile", and I've found that 680px is a good width. Change with caution.

At the end of August, we will start touring around the Netherlands to visit labs, farms and agencies. More and more challenges are appearing to us considering AB-detecting during the interactive process. What is the opinion of the potential users and the experts about safety, responsibility and social relevance regarding our application? What is already out there and what is used for AB-detection and how can we contribute to current methods? For now, we would like to continue our project with Mastitis, an inflammation of the udder tissue of milk cows due to infection by specific pathogens. Also, beta-lactamase is a topic that appeals to us for further investigation. This protein family causes multiresistance to antibiotics in human and veterinary pathogens. Wish us luck! </p></td></tr></table> </td></tr></table> </div><!--[if mso]> </td><td align="left" valign="top" width="380"><![endif]--> <div style="display:inline-block; margin: 0 -2px; width:100%; min-width:200px; max-width:380px; vertical-align:top;" class="stack-column"> <table role="presentation" aria-hidden="true" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td style="padding: 10px 10px;"> <table role="presentation" aria-hidden="true" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" width="100%" style="font-size: 18px; text-align: justify;"> <tr> <td style="padding: 20px; background-color: #009fda;"> <h1 style="margin: 0; font-family: 'Raleway', sans-serif; font-size: 35px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 40px; color: #fff; font-weight: bold; font-family: 'Raleway', sans-serif; text-align: left;">Drylab<br/>&nbsp; </h1> </td></tr><tr> <td style="font-family: 'Raleway', sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 35px; color: #222; padding-top: 10px;" class="stack-column-center"> <p style="margin: 0;">This month, the drylab team again worked passionately on simulating and modelling. Every Wednesday, they come together to discuss what they have achieved that week and to help each other with the difficulties of the project. <br/>Last month, we told you that drylab had been working on models regarding the Cas13a protein. However, this is not the only protein the drylab team is trying to characterise. The TDP proteins are also not yet well understood. Therefore, the drylab is using a lattice model to get a better understanding of the way they work. <br/> Next to modelling, the team is looking into the variety of resistance genes. Therefore, they downloaded the sequences of antibiotic resistance genes from the comprehensive antibiotic resistance database (CARD) using a web crawler. In the figure the number of genes that create a resistance for a certain antibiotic is shown.</p></td></tr></table> </td></tr></table> </div><!--[if mso]> </td></tr></table><![endif]--> </td></tr></table><!--[if mso]> </td></tr></table><![endif]--> </td></tr><tr> <td style="padding: 20px; background-color: #fff;"> <img src="https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2017/e/e5/T--TUDelft--Drylab-mail.png" aria-hidden="true" width="780" height="" alt="AB-genes" border="0" align="center" class="fluid" style="width: 100%; max-width: 780px; height: auto; background: #dddddd; font-family: 'Raleway', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; color: #fff; background-color: #fff" class="g-img"> </td></tr><tr> <td style="background-color: #fff;" align="center" height="100%" valign="top" width="100%"><!--[if mso]> <table role="presentation" aria-hidden="true" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center" width="760"> <tr> <td align="center" valign="top" width="760"><![endif]--> <table role="presentation" aria-hidden="true" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center" width="100%" style="max-width:760px;"> <tr> <td align="center" valign="top" style="font-size:0; padding: 10px 0;"><!--[if mso]> <table role="presentation" aria-hidden="true" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center" width="760"> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top" width="380"><![endif]--> <div style="display:inline-block; margin: 0 -2px; width:100%; min-width:200px; max-width:380px; vertical-align:top;" class="stack-column"> <table role="presentation" aria-hidden="true" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td style="padding: 10px 10px;"> <table role="presentation" aria-hidden="true" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" width="100%" style="font-size: 18px;text-align: left;"> <tr> <td> <img src="https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2017/3/3b/T--TUDelft--Amaria-lab.png" aria-hidden="true" width="380" height="" border="0" alt="Amaria" class="center-on-narrow" style="width: 100%; max-width: 340px; height: auto; background: #dddddd; font-family: 'Raleway', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; color: #555555;"> </td></tr><tr> <td style="font-family: 'Raleway', sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 35px; color: #222; padding-top: 10px;class="stack-column-center"> <p style="margin: 0;">Here Améria is working RNA free.

Currently, they are taking steps in transforming the plasmid into an expression strain to be able to purify their proteins and characterise them. After TDP set the example, the vesicle module followed by confirming both of their genes. One of these is already transformed into a hyper vesiculation strain to allow for characterisation. The Cas13a module is on the edge of confirming their sequence and will start purification of our <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TUDelft.iGEM2017/videos/1860450107304380/">MostValuableProtein (MVP)</a> very soon. After easy DNA isolation, the final design module has now started working on experimenting with translating the DNA into RNA without the use of expensive devices. In addition, new detection methods are being developed that will allow for a visible and straightforward read-out.</p></td></tr></table> </td></tr></table> </div><!--[if mso]> </td></tr></table><![endif]--> </td></tr></table><!--[if mso]> </td></tr></table><![endif]--> </td></tr><tr> <td style="padding: 20px; background-color: #fff;"> <table> <tr> <td style="padding: 20px; background-color: #009fda" width=740> <h1 style="margin: 0; font-family: 'Raleway', sans-serif; font-size: 40px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 40px; color: #fff; font-weight: bold; font-family: 'Raleway', sans-serif; text-align: left;">Activities</h1> </td></tr></table> </td></tr><tr style="background-color: #fff;"> <td style="padding: 0 40px 40px; font-family: 'Raleway', sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 35px; color: #222; text-align: justify;"> <p style="margin: 0;">With everyone gone on holiday, even a couple of our team members, those who stayed behind decided to also reward themselves.

At the end of August, we will start touring around the Netherlands to visit labs, farms and agencies. More and more challenges are appearing to us considering AB-detecting during the interactive process. What is the opinion of the potential users and the experts about safety, responsibility and social relevance regarding our application? What is already out there and what is used for AB-detection and how can we contribute to current methods? For now, we would like to continue our project with Mastitis, an inflammation of the udder tissue of milk cows due to infection by specific pathogens. Also, beta-lactamase is a topic that appeals to us for further investigation. This protein family causes multiresistance to antibiotics in human and veterinary pathogens. Wish us luck! </p></td></tr></table> </td></tr></table> </div><!--[if mso]> </td><td align="left" valign="top" width="380"><![endif]--> <div style="display:inline-block; margin: 0 -2px; width:100%; min-width:200px; max-width:380px; vertical-align:top;" class="stack-column"> <table role="presentation" aria-hidden="true" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td style="padding: 10px 10px;"> <table role="presentation" aria-hidden="true" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" width="100%" style="font-size: 18px; text-align: justify;"> <tr> <td style="padding: 20px; background-color: #009fda;"> <h1 style="margin: 0; font-family: 'Raleway', sans-serif; font-size: 35px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 40px; color: #fff; font-weight: bold; font-family: 'Raleway', sans-serif; text-align: left;">Drylab<br/>&nbsp; </h1> </td></tr><tr> <td style="font-family: 'Raleway', sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 35px; color: #222; padding-top: 10px;" class="stack-column-center"> <p style="margin: 0;">This month, the drylab team again worked passionately on simulating and modelling. Every Wednesday, they come together to discuss what they have achieved that week and to help each other with the difficulties of the project. <br/>Last month, we told you that drylab had been working on models regarding the Cas13a protein. However, this is not the only protein the drylab team is trying to characterise. The TDP proteins are also not yet well understood. Therefore, the drylab is using a lattice model to get a better understanding of the way they work. <br/> Next to modelling, the team is looking into the variety of resistance genes. Therefore, they downloaded the sequences of antibiotic resistance genes from the comprehensive antibiotic resistance database (CARD) using a web crawler. In the figure the number of genes that create a resistance for a certain antibiotic is shown.</p></td></tr></table> </td></tr></table> </div><!--[if mso]> </td></tr></table><![endif]--> </td></tr></table><!--[if mso]> </td></tr></table><![endif]--> </td></tr><tr> <td style="padding: 20px; background-color: #fff;"> <img src="https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2017/e/e5/T--TUDelft--Drylab-mail.png" aria-hidden="true" width="780" height="" alt="AB-genes" border="0" align="center" class="fluid" style="width: 100%; max-width: 780px; height: auto; background: #dddddd; font-family: 'Raleway', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; color: #fff; background-color: #fff" class="g-img"> </td></tr><tr> <td style="background-color: #fff;" align="center" height="100%" valign="top" width="100%"><!--[if mso]> <table role="presentation" aria-hidden="true" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center" width="760"> <tr> <td align="center" valign="top" width="760"><![endif]--> <table role="presentation" aria-hidden="true" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center" width="100%" style="max-width:760px;"> <tr> <td align="center" valign="top" style="font-size:0; padding: 10px 0;"><!--[if mso]> <table role="presentation" aria-hidden="true" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center" width="760"> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top" width="380"><![endif]--> <div style="display:inline-block; margin: 0 -2px; width:100%; min-width:200px; max-width:380px; vertical-align:top;" class="stack-column"> <table role="presentation" aria-hidden="true" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td style="padding: 10px 10px;"> <table role="presentation" aria-hidden="true" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" width="100%" style="font-size: 18px;text-align: left;"> <tr> <td> <img src="https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2017/3/3b/T--TUDelft--Amaria-lab.png" aria-hidden="true" width="380" height="" border="0" alt="Amaria" class="center-on-narrow" style="width: 100%; max-width: 340px; height: auto; background: #dddddd; font-family: 'Raleway', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; color: #555555;"> </td></tr><tr> <td style="font-family: 'Raleway', sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 35px; color: #222; padding-top: 10px;class="stack-column-center"> <p style="margin: 0;">Here Amária is working RNA free.

Currently, they are taking steps in transforming the plasmid into an expression strain to be able to purify their proteins and characterise them. After TDP set the example, the vesicle module followed by confirming both of their genes. One of these is already transformed into a hyper vesiculation strain to allow for characterisation. The Cas13a module is on the edge of confirming their sequence and will start purification of our <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TUDelft.iGEM2017/videos/1860450107304380/">MostValuableProtein (MVP)</a> very soon. After easy DNA isolation, the final design module has now started working on experimenting with translating the DNA into RNA without the use of expensive devices. In addition, new detection methods are being developed that will allow for a visible and straightforward read-out.</p></td></tr></table> </td></tr></table> </div><!--[if mso]> </td></tr></table><![endif]--> </td></tr></table><!--[if mso]> </td></tr></table><![endif]--> </td></tr><tr> <td style="padding: 20px; background-color: #fff;"> <table> <tr> <td style="padding: 20px; background-color: #009fda" width=740> <h1 style="margin: 0; font-family: 'Raleway', sans-serif; font-size: 40px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 40px; color: #fff; font-weight: bold; font-family: 'Raleway', sans-serif; text-align: left;">Activities</h1> </td></tr></table> </td></tr><tr style="background-color: #fff;"> <td style="padding: 0 40px 40px; font-family: 'Raleway', sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 35px; color: #222; text-align: justify;"> <p style="margin: 0;">With everyone gone on holiday, even a couple of our team members, those who stayed behind decided to also reward themselves.
