Design Notes

The RhlAB gene complex have shown illegal restriction sites by the restriccition enzymes of the assembly standard protocol 10. We face this problem by applying the mutagenesis protocol that consist in doing silent mutation that change the nucleotides of our rhlAB gene that is cutted by the Pstl restriction enzyme. Then we will get an standardized coding sequence of the rhlAB gene compatible with the Assembly Standard 10.
