Usage and Biology

This part previously functioned as a DNA recombination and repair protein in E. coli.
Thioredoxin can facilitate protein folding. And this par has its potential of being used in a fusion protein design.
It is also found that Thioredoxin is capable of increasing enzyme activity of our protein, MSMEG5998(BBa_K2382001). We designed a polylinker that has multiple restriction cutting sites at the end of this part for future iGEM teams who want to make their protein more effective.

BBa_K2382004 showed the gene design of the Thioredoxin fusion system construction.
