Design Notes

This part was amplified by PCR from the plasmid received by us.

We received this part by Dr. Alberto Danielli, a researcher in molecular biology at the Department of Pharmacology and Biotechnology at the University of Bologna. He sent us the gene encoding HpNikR (from the genome of H. pylori G27) inserted into a pET-15b plasmid.
