Sequence coding for Cytochrome b562

This part encodes Cytochrome b562 in a pSB1C3 backbone. Cytochrome b562 is a single subunit, four-helix bundle protein containing a non-covalently bound b-type haem group with a molecular weight of 25kDa (Fujiwara, Fnkumori, and Yamanaka, 1993; Robinson et al., 1997).

Validation

This part has been validated by diagnostic restriction digestion followed by agarose gel electrophoresis. A restriction digest was carried out using the enzymes EcoRI and PstI. The enzymes cleave pSBIC3 into a fragment of 2029bp, with our insert being 345bp. By comparing the sizes of the fragments to the Invitrogen 1kB DNA Marker, we found that our fragments had separated to the expected sizes (see figure 1.).
