Our team aimed to engineer a genetic toggle switch that would allow yeast to express either green or cyan fluourescent protein mutually exclusively. This is regulated at the translational level which provides a quicker response than previous switches regulated at the transcriptional level. This is a novel mechanism previously untried. We successfully developed mathematical models to predict the possibility and requirements for this switch to work whilst biologically we were able to show that that such a swith was possible by building and testing the individual constructs of the switch mechanism.
