Design Notes
For the design, we first codon optimized the Mambalgin-1 sequence for Escherichia coli using the IDT codon optimization tool. We added RFC 10 prefix and suffix and also included a start codon in the beginning of the sequence. Also included in the construct was a prokaryotic RBS, an IPTG inducible promoter, and Myc and 6xHis epitopes. This fusion protein was designed specifically for easy expression in E. coli.

Mambalgin-1 sequence (BBa_k1110003) + codon optimization for Escherichia coli, RBS (BBa_j61101), lacI Promoter (BBa_R0011), MYC and 6xHis tag was copied from the pGAPZα vector sequence. This was synthesized by IDT. <img src=">https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2015/d/dd/MAMBA.E.coli_Western_blot.THISONE.jpg
