Design Notes

We had to discuss what was the best option to enhance the expression efficiency of our proteins of interest to bio-remediate heavy metals, as mercury. As we already know, in eukaryotes the ribosome binding site (RBS) promotes efficient and accurate translation of mRNA. Studies have shown that every eukaryotic specie has its nucleotide preferences, wich means that each specie has its own Kozak sequence. We designed this BioBrick to perform the best protein expression possible in Arabidopsis thaliana.
