Design Notes

The effectiveness of the theophylline riboswitch is determined by the ability of the RNA 'loop' to hide the RBS preventing translation. The sequence of bases within the riboswitch will determine the formation of the loop and its leakiness.



Source

The cheZ sequence was PCR amplified from E.coli strain DH5α where the forward primers in the reaction contained the sequence for the theophylline riboswitch. The riboswitch clone 12.1 is derived from Lynch and Gallivan NAR 2009.
