For our RBS characterization project, five different RBS sequences from the [http://partsregistry.org/Ribosome_Binding_Sites/Prokaryotic/Constitutive/Anderson Anderson RBS family] (J61100, J61101, J61107, J61117, J61127) and the standard RBS [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_B0032 B0032] were placed in front of the standard [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_E0040 GFP coding sequence]; the Biobricks generated in order to perform the experiments were: [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K398500 K398500], [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K398501 K398501], [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K398502 K398502], [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K398503 K398503], [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K398504 K398504].

Using the system described before, the protein production was measured as fluorescence production. The experiments were carried out during 18 hours using a Gen5 fluorenscence and absorbance plate reader. The general map of the construction is shown below, where the RBS is displayed in fucsia.

Strength was calculated by taking the mean of the ratio between the expression of known RBS ([http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_B0032 B0032]) and expression of Anderson RBS over some time. Expression being the measured fluorescence divided by measured biomass (absorbance, OD).
 
-
 
-
The measurements where taken from the part of the curve where optimal growth can be assumed, so from 0:40 until 2:30
 
-
The result is a simple characterization of the Anderson RBS sequences in relation to the known RBSes. The given strengths are given in comparison with the iGEM RBS standard [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_B0034 B0034].

We've also looked at mRNA folded shapes using mfold to see if there was a common pattern in the Anderson RBS shapes. This might have been usable in predicting RBS strength for the other untested Anderson RBS sequences. Unfortunately, this didn't seem to be the case, as all the tried RBS sequences had very different mfold shapes.
