Design Notes

The pseudoknot structure is important to the function of cold-inducible RNA thermosensors. We designed the thermosensor by increasing or decreasing the base pairings and GC content in the pseudoknot.

Source

The natural cspA gene sequence is from Escherichia coli. The sequence we used is the 5'UTR of cspA. And we incrase or decrease the base pairings and GC centent of this sequence. We synthesized this sequence from a synthesis company. Other sequences are derived from iGEM Registry of Standard Biological Parts.
