Beta-galactosidase protein generator

Beta-galactosidase protein generator with strong RBS.

This part takes PoPS as input to express lacZ gene (BBa_I732005), encoding for beta-galactosidase enzyme. This enzyme can be used to cleave lactose molecule to glucose and galactose (see figure), but can also be used as a reporter protein for colorimetric assays (together with X-Gal or ONPG as a substrate).
