BioBrick Toolbox

BioBrick assembly A-parts are used for N-Terminal and C-parts for C-terminal fusion. B-part is the linker that connects the two entities.

To construct the aimed fusion proteins, we first blunt-end cloned our BioBricks into the storage vector pSEVA132 <partinfo>BBa_K422002</partinfo> (Victor de Lorenzo's lab, KanR, pBBR1 ori). All parts are sequence verified and compatible with BBF RFC28 (http://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/46721).

Check out our general scheme for the easy construction of Tom Knight's OAS and BBF RFC28 compatible working vectors [1]!
