How to search for a basic part

(1) If you know the part number (e.g., BBa_J45001), simply type the unique characters after the underscore (J45001 in this case) into the "jump to part" search box under the Catalog icon on any Registry page. This will immediately take you to the Main Page for the part.

(2) If you know the name of the part (e.g., autoinducer synthetase), type this into the "Text Search" box below. For this example, at least seven hits will be displayed, from which you can select those of interest and click on their part numbers to go to the corresponding Main Pages.

(3) If you know the broad category of the part you need, but not its exact name or part number, use the icons on the "Browse Part Types" page. Note that there are six categories of "parts" on this page: Systems, Devices, Parts, Chassis
