There have been studies on temperature dependent protein synthesis, in Antarctic and temperate fishes (of the family Zoarcidae), as well as studies on Temperature-Regulated Protein Synthesis by Leptospira interrogans (a pathogenic bacteria), that could be viable systems in the engineering of such a tool.<br /> <br /> More research must be done on the actual targeting of these temperature dependent biosynthetic pathways.</div>
