DESCRIPTION OF WEEK TWO TO BE UPLOADED AT A LATER DATE

Day 1

Research

While two members of the team worked in the labs on the transformation of Escherichia coli the rest of the team continued with the research into previous BioBricks and those that we felt the characterisation of would be useful to our project. As one of our proposed ideas for the project is to produce a BioBrick that can sense nitric oxide and then go on to increase nitric oxide amounts to toxic levels if appropriate as a potential cancer therapeutic we decided to look into genes for nitric oxide synthase and nitrite reductase, both enzymes that result in the production of nitric oxide. We also looked into plasmids and genes that may be used in mammalian cells as well as bacterial in order to start thinking about where our project could go once the BioBrick is synthesised.
