<p>We successfully constructed multiple novel membrane proteins based on ß-barrel bearing translocators that are capable of displaying protein particles on the surface of E. coli (Fig. 6). As liposomes feature the same lipids as E. coli membranes, and during our project were successfully incorporated with Bam complex proteins, it appears that these proteins will be able to expose fused protein particles as, if not more, efficiently as in bacteria, laying the foundation to reach new molecular evolution horizons.

Proof of Concept

The Composite Proof

We proved that our SynDrop system worked as intended by successfully implementing several critical wet lab and dry lab experiments. First, we have created a model to determine microfluidics variables for optimal liposome synthesis. Second, we synthesized stable biocompatible liposomes and demonstrated an internal transcription and translation of functional proteins. Third, we demonstrated that membrane proteins can successfully integrate into our liposomes. Finally, we constructed working fusion proteins that were able to display a designated tag on the outer membrane.
