Design Notes

The RhlAB gene complex has shown illegal restriction sites according to the assembly standard protocol 10. We faced this problem by applying the mutagenesis protocol that consist in doing silent mutations that change the nucleotides of our rhlAB gene that are cut by the Pstl restriction enzyme. This will give us a standardized coding sequence of the rhlAB gene compatible with the Assembly Standard protocol 10 and a new BioBrick part for the Registry.
