BioPrecipitation
We have developed four parts so far that are in the registry. The physical DNA and sequence data is yet to be finalised. The four parts used in this project were sent to our lab by Christos Kyratsous from Columbia University, we thank you for your contribution.
BBa_K205000
Name: GroEL
Standard: 21
Function: GroEL is a chaperone protein that is responsible for the prevention of polypeptide mis-folding. In conjunction with GroES, these two subunits form an assembly dimer that are promote efficient protein folding, especially under stressful conditions such as heat shock. This chaperone protein belongs to the eukaryotic HSP60 (heat shock protein) family.

BBa_K205004
Name: MerT
Standard: 23 Assembly in BBa_J63010

In combination with MerP, a periplasmic mercury binding protein which ferries mercury to MerT, these two proteins can greatly increase the intracellular accumulation of mercury.
