Design Notes

A T-5 promoter is easily inducible and therefore an effective promoter to test the melanin sequence. The strong RBS makes sure that the ribosome binds. The double terminating sequence makes sure transcription terminates. The original DNA sequence comes from part Bba_K274001 which obtained sequence from Rhizobium etli CFN42. However, we optimized the sequence for E. coli so that it will work better.
