Magainin-Split Beta-Galactosidase Biosensor
Overview
Current methods of water-borne pathogen detection require expensive equipment that often isn't modular, high throughput, or accessible to developing countries. One of the projects this year's ASU iGEM undertook was building a split-enzyme engineered fusion protein consisting of the Magainin peptide and the split alpha and omega fragments of beta-galactosidase.
