FLP Recombinase-based PoPS Measurement Device
Utilizing a new biobrick, the FLP reporter system can used to determine the transcription rate of gene expression. It can be applied to measure the persistence length of DNA by using different spacings between the FLP recombinase sites.
Instead of gene expression in cells, it is attempted to express this system in vitro, using lipid vesicles. First of all, a method to create those vesicles is introduced, then a gene expression kit is inserted.
Following the description given in ((add reference)), it is attempted to create nanoparticles using a silver-binding peptide. This is a promising approach for tagging proteins, but it turns out that the protocol is insufficient.
