Design Notes

A 10 amino acid Gly-Ser linker was chosen to maintain functionality of the dimer, but this was fairly arbitrary and the length of the intervening linker may need to be changed.

Additionally, a mis-sense mutation occurred during amplification of K216008, in which nucleotide 1393 and 1394 (numbers refer to part BBaJ70565's sequence) were switched causing the sequence to read cctgtccgcata instead of cctgtcccgata. This mutation caused a single Alanine to be changed to an Arginine, which shouldn't be too much of a problem.
