An important part of our project is to work with '''yeasts''' in order to create each and everyone of the cell-pixels of our bioscreen. We will use some aequorin-transformed yeast strains.

'''Aequorin''' is a luminiscent protein isolated from luminescent jellyfish and many other marine organisms that uses '''coelenterazine''' as its cofactor to produce light whenever Ca<SUP>2+</SUP> is bound to it. Using a '''chemical input''' (KOH, alkali shock) we will open '''Ca<SUP>2+</SUP> channels''' in the yeasts' membrane (Viladevall L, et al. J Biol Chem. (2004) 279 43614–43624), Ca<SUP>2+</SUP> will enter into the cells and we will get '''light''' as an '''output'''.

Later we will try to reproduce the same response with an '''electrical stimulus''', using some hardware built by ourselves.
