Software Tool
We realised early on that our detection module could be designed with a sensitivity to different proteases. By changing the cleavage site the system can accept a wide variety of inputs. This tool is designed to facilitate a quick custom sequence generation of the entire surface protein construct.
Select Protease Description

This was our primary target. Read our wiki to find out more!

Awaiting sequence generation...

Yellow - Biobrick Prefix/Suffix

Orange - Promoter

Red - Ribosome Binding Site

Violet - Scar

Purple - Cell Wall Binding Domain

Dark Blue - Adjustable Linker

Light Blue - Protease Cleavage Site

Dark Green - Autoinducing Peptide

Light Green - Terminator
