Overall project
The objective for our iGEM 2010 team is to create a biological system that will replicate a peptide at a low economic cost. This machine includes the use of a bacterial plasmid that will be incorporated with a T7 promoter and a carrier molecule to allow for sufficient replication of the protein that will be added to the vector.
We believe that this system can then be adopted and enhanced to produce large scales of peptides/drugs without the high price tag associated with its manufacture and development to then be distributed to large communities that otherwise cannot afford treatment.
