This is to be done by fusing PIF3 (for example) with any of the Che proteins (CheB, CheR, CheZ). The best light input signal is the one for which the bias is close enough to 1 for the highest amount of time (in other words, CheYp stays the most beyond the Threshold). <br>

Evaluation for Wet Laboratory

Evaluation goals

To determine the best possible parts for the biological implementation of E. lemming, combined molecular models (Light switch - Chemotaxis) have been used to answer specific questions:

  1. Which receptor (Che) protein should be attacked?
  2. To which light-sensitive protein (PhyB, PIF3) should the receptor protein be linked?
  3. What is a good aspartate concentration?
  4. In what quantity should the anchor and binding light-sensitive protein be chosen?
