[[../Experiments#Experiment Status/|This is what I'm working on currently.]]
Function
- To provide a landing site for ligand.
- To cause dimerization/conformational change in the Receiver.
- To transmit signal to Receiver.
- Will use anti-fluorescein scFv for test phase.
- Ultimately use anti-rabbit scFv for system.

Experiments
- To test whether the scFvs are expressed? How?
- We need constitutive promoter with RBS upstream of it. There is one in the library available. Biobrick scFv onto RBS/promoter, and it should express. Do a western blot to see if protein expression by using FLAG tag. We need anti-FLAG antibody (ask Natalie).
