1. We have successfully registered the team, had a great time discussing together, and spent a wonderful summer in lab.

2. We have successfully completed and submitted the iGEM 2012 Judging form and highlight our achievement on wiki.

3. We have designed a clear-organized iGEM wiki and really like the style. The wiki introduces our project in detail and present our outreach work in synthetic biology.

4. We’re going to Asia Jamboree this October, hoping to present out brilliant Riboscaffold with a Poster and talk. It’s going to be a great fun in Hongkong!

5. We successfully submitted and described 2 new standard BioBrick Part, BBa_K738000 and BBa_K738002, in the Registry of Standard Biological Parts, including details like primary nuleaic acid sequence, description of function, authorship, acknowledgment of sources and references. We have made detailed characterization in the operation of our new parts, which designed by ourselves.

6. We also made efforts on improving a existing BioBrick Part, BBa_K537009 and BBa_K411003, entering this information back on the Experience Page of the Registry.

7. We enjoy our Creative HP Ideas Workshop a lot, practicing different ways in human practice of synthetic biology, and it works well. We made a really awesome music comic video this year, which is a love story concerning our project, “Scaffold in Syn and Bio’s Love”. We feel so proud of it!

8. We use 3 exceptional methods to model our scaffold and its enzymatic reaction from different perspectives. More than ODE, we use molecular dynamics simulations, docking and RNA 3D structure prediction. In addition, we create a program analyzing scaffold’s effects on enzymatic reaction and production.

9. We did concern issues in iGEM safety, and answered all the safety questions on our wiki, and we even added it to our human practice. We collaborated with another club in campus to see what our freshmen will response to the biosafety issues in the freshman speech contest.
