Designed so that any protein can be ligated to this part with standard assembly to make them respond to copper (for instance our copper chelator proteins)

Design Notes

Codon optimised. Designed for biobrick assembly with protein/reporter of choice.


Source

The promoter originates from E. coli. Ordered as codon optimised DNA from IDT.
