Theophylline_Riboswitch (transcriptional)

The iGEM Team BOKU-Vienna improved the Part BBa_K784005 by designing a Theophylline Riboswitch that works in a transcriptional way, instead of a translational way. The coding sequence does not have to be scarless fused to the Riboswitch, which makes cloning easier.
Consists of an Aptamer-sequence, a spacer region, a terminator and a U-Stretch.
To test the probabilities of the Riboswitch we conducted measurements by fusing the Ribswitch upstream to a Promotor and downstream to an RBS and GFP. You can find those measurements on the Registry-Page of the described Composite Part BBa_K3015007
