Modeling

Nicotine detection model


To detect the existence of nicotine better, we made the first and second versions of system. Built on the pSB1C3 backbone, the former version contains a nicA2 promoter and a GFP gene, while the latter adds a T7 RNA polymerase gene and a T7 promoter in the middle of the former design, so as to enhance the expression of the fluorescence. Via experiments, we learnt that the activity of the nicA2 promoter is regulated by the concentration of nicotine, so we applied different concentrations on both designs for test, and used the results to build the following math models using MATLAB (R2018b).

Collaboration with ASTWS-China team and HFLS_ZhejiangUnited team.

During the interlab experiment, we cooperated with ASTWS-China team and HFLS_ZhejiangUnited team, we provided the ASTWS-China team with E. coli DH5a and 100μl silicon beads that had better quality as well as gave HFLS_ZhejiangUnited team the transcriptional shaking table bacteria solution and some experimental equipment (chloramphenicol resistance, gun head, etc.). At the same time, we also borrowed the glycerin bacteria we needed from the ASTWS-China team.

During the experiment, we lent ASTWS-China team kit1 and kit2, which enables its students to extract the useful DNA.

During the Collaborations, our research members visited HFLS_ZhejiangUnited team’s experiments and watched its members’ studying notes.

Because our conversion process——A procedure that obtaining the desired plasmid from the distribution kits—— always failed,we communicated with ASTWS-China team, eliminating the possibilities derived from operate miss and finding the cause of the problem: Homemade E. coli receptive state.

Collaborations with other teams


Collaboration with ZJU-China team.

The aspect about experimental problem: Because of the invalid homemade E. coli receptive state, we did experiments in the ZJU-China team’s laboratories by utilizing its commercial E. coli receptive state. This attempt provided enough opportunities for us to discuss the difference between the experiments, which exerted great advantage to solve such problems in the nest phase.

Before carrying out publicity activities, our team made comprehensive discussions with the ZJU-China team like establishing programs of activities, preparing materials, and decorating the venues.

Collaborations with social organizations


Collaboration with Zhejiang Province Science Museum

We cooperated with Science museum and did some simple experiments in the venue stadium, which is not only appeals visitors, but also facilitates to promote the IGEM project and knowledge about synthetic biology.

Collaborations with Zhejiang Science and Technology Market

During the science and technology week held by Zhejing Science administrators, we collaborated with organizers. In that exhibition, we conducted a questionnaire survey as well as advertised the JGEM project, thus, enriching the program’s content.
