ssDNA for producing in-vivo tetrahedral structure Strand1

This part is an improvement to the part BBa_K2054001. This part works together with four other parts ( BBa_K2202001, BBa_K2202002, BBa_K2202003 and BBa_K2202005) and requires the chassis to contain HIV reverse transcriptase and Murine leukemia reverse transcriptase. The Part essentially produces a ncRNA which is later reverse transcribed to a single-stranded DNA that binds together with four other ssDNA produced to make a 2-dimensional flat structure.This 2D structure, upon detecting a Huntington's Disease biomarker (hsa-miR-34b-3p), folds into a tetrahedron with a g-quadruplex. Colorimetric or fluorescent reagents such as ABTS and Thioflavin T can be used to detect this G-quadruplex. Hence our part functions as a diagnostic device for nucleic acid biomarkers.
