Overall project
1. Sensitivity of a biosensor
2. Logic gates
Biosensor
Using a random mutagenesis method directed at the promoter binding sites, we intend to construct a library of varying strength pBAD promoters coupled to a GFP reporter gene. Sequencing of select mutated promoters will result in a collection of pBAD variants that cover a wide range promoter sensitivity.
The Experiments
1. Random mutagenesis of pBAD promoter sequence. 2. Quantification of mutant promoter-driven GFP fluorescence. 3. Sequencing of select mutants. 4. BioBrick design and submission.
Results
Logic Gates
