dCas9-delta alpha

dCas9 fused with Δα segment of lacz, His tag allows for protein purification.

For their ease of use, low assay time, cost-effectiveness, high sensitivity, electrochemical biosensors have emerged as an attractive method for molecular detection. Combing with our PC Reporter we may further enhance it's applicability, that is to implement point-of-care diagnostics in settings outside clinics and without the need of specialized analytical laboratories.


β-glactosidase (LacZ) is an exoglycosidase from E.coli, composing of 1024 amino acids. LacZ is a commonly used as a reporter, known for blue white screen, which catalyzes X-gal to produce blue dye; by using different substrates, for example ONPG, reaction can be measured quantitatively.

In our project, we could dissect LacZ as Δα, ∆ω segments to fuse with dCas9 to do the same as our PC Reporter. β-galactosidase is used to catalyze the hydrolysis of p-aminophenyl-β-D-galactopyranoside (PAPG) to p-aminophenol (PAP), which can be oxidized at an working electrode held at 220mV versus the reference electrode.
