Parts

Here is the part that we submitted to the registry:
BBa_K221000

This helps our construct synthasize geosmin, the enzyme that smells like rain.
This part codes N-terminal (366 amino acid) domain of the SCO6073 gene from S. coelicolor A3. Expression of this domain gives a fully functional germacradienol synthase with steady-state catalytic parameters similar to those of the full-length protein that converts farnesyl diphosphate(FPP) to Geosmin*.
