Content
Introduction
- How cells physically interact with environment?
- Underutilized aspects of iGEM: random libraries, surface expression
Targeting
- Random library
- Loop/terminal
- Targets
- Nickel
- Calmodulin
- EGF
- GST
- His
- Strep
- PDZ
- Plates: before and after enrichment, somehow present numbers (pie chart? bar graph?)
Cell-cell signaling
- QS – sender, receiver = biobricks, back to initial idea: target + QS, with figures
- Figures: drop experiment (halo)
Intracellular signaling
- Advantage of Fec system = gene expression with low level of background – need specificity with targets, etc, regulation on cell level rather than on population level
Conclusion
- “Big goals” – medical applications
- Self-regulated production of certain proteins – “preprogrammed assembly”
