Design Notes
When designing this part we used the recombinant cDNA sequence. While the same amino acids are present, the cDNA sequence is altered. To detect the activation of Factor C autocatalysis, a hCG-beta subunit sequence component was a necessary addition to our final Factor C cDNA sequence. Similar to the primers designed for Factor C, we designed a forward and a reverse complement primer with iGEM prefix and suffix to join Block 4 of Factor C and Block 5 of hCG-beta subunit together. For our idea of a detection system, we plan to use a pregnancy test to detect the recombinant hCG-beta subunit once Factor C is activated.
