Module 1: Protein Production
Overview
The E.ncapsulator has been designed to produce and deliver polypeptides (amino acid polymers) to the intestine. Module 1 encompasses the polypeptide production phase. During this period, our polypeptide of interest is synthesised at a rate sufficient to faciliate its accumulation inside the cell.
To demonstrate The E.ncapsulator's versatility, we have chosen to showcase it with both enzymes and peptides. These two classes of polypeptide have very different properties that we have considered and catered for in The E.ncapsulator's design.
About the difference between enzymes and peptides.
Module 1 is chemically induced by the addition of IPTG. After sufficient amount of protein of interest has been produced, autoinduction occurs and encapsulation will start.
