Team:NTNU Trondheim/Improve

The RRvT’s strong brightness and it’s low sensitivity of acidic environment makes the new biobrick a clear improvemt of the existing red fluorescent protein.

Gold medal criterion two, and best composite part award:

To improve a previous part, we decided to change the sequence of the red fluorescent protein coding device BBa_J04450. This was done by replacing the RFP sequence with the sequence for the RRvT. RRvT is a red fluorescent protein with a much higher brightness, and it can be used when the concentration of the inducer is to low to activate the BBa_J04450 biobrick. The RRvT has a very low acid sensitivity which can be useful in many situations. The advantages of RRvT’s strong brightness and it’s low sensitivity of acidic environment makes this protein better than the existing red fluorescent protein.

Improve

For teams seeking to improve upon a previous part or project, you should document all of your work on this page. Please remember to include all part measurement and characterization data on the part page on the Registry. Please include a link to your improved part on this page.

Gold Medal Criterion #2

Standard Tracks: Create a new part that has a functional improvement upon an existing BioBrick part. The sequences of the new and existing parts must be different. You must perform experiments with both parts to demonstrate this improvement. Document the experimental characterization on the Part's Main Page on the Registry for both the existing and new parts. Both the new and existing Main Page of each Part’s Registry entry must reference each other. Submit a sample of the new part to the Registry. The existing part must NOT be from your 2018 part number range and must be different from the part documented in bronze #4.

Special Tracks: Improve the function of an existing iGEM project (that your current team did not originally create) and display your achievement on your wiki.
