GBP-Gold binding peptide

A gold binding peptide is a series of amino acids that have an affinity to gold, mostly sulfide based amino acids, since sulfide groups have a natural chemical affinity to gold. This property makes it a vital part for iGEM Concordia for effective attachment of gold nanoparticles onto the cell surface of E.coli. In order to accomplish this, it will need to be fused with a membrane protein, refer to part BBa_K2045000. This part has many future applications and will allow for the attachment of gold nanoparticles to many kinds of protein structures and will be a future key player in the emerging use of nanotechnology in synthetic biology.
