Design Notes
The part was assembled through PCR using a set of long oligos. The sequence contains an NdeI site, which made it more difficult to place into a pET11a vector for protein purification and characterization.
Source
This part was isolated from Anopheles dirus. The team took the amino acid sequence found in the NCBI protein database and used reverse transcribed using codon optimization for E. coli to create the DNA part.
