First, we would like to thank our PI Hubert Kalbacher, who helped us out so much in planning and carrying out the toxicity assay, the MALDI-TOF Measurements and also the protein purification. Furthermore, he provided us with lots of laboratory equipment and the materials we needed for the protein purification. Thank you very much!

Michael Jendrusch is a very experienced iGEMer, who helped us out a lot in time management, thinking about a great storyline for our project and planning our wiki. Thank you for traveling to Tübingen in your spare time to share your experience and advice with us!

Many thanks also go to the student council of Biochemistry, who provided us with money on loan to register for this years iGEM competition.

Lukas Radwan supported us in designing our project and was always there in if we needed advice on how to implement the ideas that we had. Thank you very much!

Also, we would like to thank Thomas Binz, a brilliant scientist working on clostridial neurotoxins, who supported us very much in planning and implementing our toxicity assay and who consulted with us, that we would perform everything correctly. Thank you!

Especially in our lab work, we experienced an enormous amount of support of so many different people, which we would like to thank very much in the next section.

We thank the Gust Lab and all team members for providing us with a laboratory to work in where we performed most of our molecular biology work and supporting us with a huge amount of materials we needed for our work. Furthermore, the team members were always happy to give us advice in all sorts of questions reaching from help with Gibson cloning or PCRs to the usage of the different devices in the lab. Thank you very much!
