I expanded the MerR protein engineering strategy to lead-responsive regulator, PbrR. Outer membrane protein A (OmpA) was fused with Pb binding peptide at its C-terminal via the same method in mercury binding peptide construction. I also participated the construction of mercury absorption facilitation module and inductive aggregation module.
