Integrated Human Practices
Improve a previous part
We improved the validation system for aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases for ncAAs from Austin Texas 2014 (BBa_K1416004) and Aachen 2016 (BBa_K2020040) with a FRET system (BBa_K2201343) and used it in our project. You can find our Part Improvement site here.
