Design Notes

The gene had E,S and P sites. Thus, we used site directed mutagenesis and overlap PCR techniques to optimize the codon and to remove the E,S and P sites so that it can be ligated with the iGEM plasmid backbone.

We would like to thank Kwang-Hwan "Kevin" Jung, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Department of Life Science and Institute of Biological Interfaces, Sogang University, Korea for sending us the plasmid (pKJ900) with proteorhodopsin gene.
