The Story So Far
26th June
The team is starting to design the experiment. We need to:
- Design primers to introduce Taq into psB1C3
- Create a good protein expression vector.
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.
19th June
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.
