Proposed topics

Some potential topics to be discussed at MIT SBWG lunch ... just brainstorming ... please edit. (I know that we had talked about having people present but I think there are also a set of issues that several people's projects touch on but aren't being addressed by any one person.) Apologies because these aren't articulated very well.

1. Standards (also see talk page)
2. What characteristics are necessary for a standard specification of part/device/system function? i.e. what does the part datasheet look like?
   • What are the important characteristics for a device that catalyzes an enzymatic reaction?
   • What are the important characteristics for a transcription based device?
     • Here is one proposal.
3. Load issues
   • What demands on the chassis are of most concern to us? Replication, transcription, translation, Enzyme activity?
     • Are we regularly placing high demands on the chassis with our existing systems?
   • What chassis responses to an applied demand are of relevance? Growth rate, protein synthesis capacity?
     • Can we specify a threshold demand level above which the chassis response is so severe as to render the our engineered systems inoperable?
4. Selection against our systems
   1. e.g. IS elements are showing up in our devices!
5. Standard chassis.
