  • Colon Cancer Detection Questions

Can isopeptags be used to detect a cancer biomarker and then create a response inside the cell? If not, what other transmembrane proteins can?

  • Heat Production

Diagram of proposed mechanism

What's a good "cold switch" - a riboswitch that would stop transcription at a specific temperature?

Does the UCP1 create enough heat, fast enough, to make a difference?

Does activation of UCP1 harmfully inhibit ATP production? Or can we overproduce ATP to compensate?

  • CO Detection

Can E. coli be altered to survive in CO long enough to detect it?
