Design Notes

The use of Copper and L-tyrosine as precursors for the expression of melanin. We optimized the codons for the E. coli bacteria. A T5 promoter is easily inducible and therefore an effective promoter to test the melanin sequence. The strong RBS makes sure that the ribosome binds. The double terminating sequence makes sure transcription terminates. The original DNA sequence comes from part Bba_K274001 which obtained sequence from Rhizobium etli CFN42. However, we optimized the sequence for E. coli so that it will work better. The optimization improves the compatibility of the plasmid by changing the base pairs without changing the codon produced.
