The Story so far

19 June 2010:

Jeremy Nagels, a student at Monash university, Ebony and Symon have begun discussing various project ideas. These include:

Oscillators

The use of the Hydrogenase 3 complex to generate Hydrogen within E Coli as a form of biofuel.

The possibility of biological prevention of tooth decay with biobricks.

The application of biobricks to a mixed cell community.

The development of cell free transcription/ translation within a cellular system, for example the phloem of a plant, (although the development of this level of symbiosis may be the stuff of future projects)

The attempt is being made to develop a project that in some ways reflects these interests and possibly taps a common thread underlying them.

  22th June:

Work has begun on creating primers to extract the protein we are working on from its wild-type plasmid into a plasmid which conforms to biobrick cloning standards.
