Design Notes

The BioBrick does not contain any illegal restriction sites. All of the sequences have been taken directly from E. coli genome so there is no need for codon optimization.


Source

All the sequences come from the Escherichia coli K12 genomic sequence. The ftsI section in the BioBrick was taken from end of the ftsI gene 1268-1767bp (500bp). Sequence acquired through EcoCyc (EG10341). The murE section was taken from the start of the murE gene 1-500bp. Sequence from EcoCyc (EG10621). The Pspac promoter were taken from the registry designed by the 2007 Cambridge iGEM team (BBa_1746666). Ampicilin resistance marker gene was taken from the expression vector pSTAR (gb|AF047654.1|AF047654).
