Part:BBa_K4245136
Lettuce Left
This part is the left component of the split fluorescent DNA aptamer Lettuce (BBa_K4245133), developed by the Weill-Cornell Medical College. Lettuce left is a 42 nucleotide long DNA aptamer that, when brought in close proximity to Lettuce right (BBa_K4245135), induces fluorescence of a GFP fluorophore mimic (Z)-4-(3,5-difluoro-4-hydroxybenzylidene)-2-methyl-1-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)-1H-imidazol-5(4 H)-one (DFHBI-1T) (VarnBuhler et al., 2022).
The mechanism in which the split Lettuce aptamer works is represented in Figure 1.
The experimentation with this version of Lettuce left was not successful for Lambert iGEM.
