Design Notes

The pseudoknot structure is important to the function of cold-inducible RNA-based thermosensors. We designed the thermosensor by changing base pairing, base pair position and GC content in pseudoknot region.

Source

The natural cspA gene sequence is from Escherichia coli. The sequence we used is the 5'UTR of cspA. And we incrase or decrease the base pairings and GC centent of this sequence. We synthesized this sequence from a synthesis company.
