Components designed by our team

Introduction

The field of biology is distinct from other engineering disciplines due to the absence of a modular structure and function. This results in alterations to the expression of genes when they are transferred between species. The objective of synthetic biology is to standardise functional genes in order to facilitate predictable expression in different chassis organisms. Our project has registered 17 basic parts and 3 composite parts. It is our hope that these parts will be accessible for utilisation based on our research through the registry, and that the information for the parts can be further completed so that more people can make use of them.

Among these parts, we choose turboPETase(OmpA), (BBa_K5233022) as our best new basic part for the application of gold medal.
