Design Notes

A design considerations we had was the optimization of codons. We condon optimized this particular DNA sequence using IDT's Codon Optimzation Tool by changing its codons to match the most prevalent tRNAs. This way the protein will be more efficiently translated and make more of the desired product. This is the only relevant design change to this part.

Source

The plasmid vector we used was adopted from an already existing plasmid backbone for E.Coli constructed by the company DNA 2.0. Since we used existing part within their parts catalog it allowed us to have a longer sequence for our genetic code. The original genetic sequence used for the project was taken from a pre-registered IGEM part which we took and then made slight alterations using Integrate DNA Technologies' codon optimization software to get rid of restriction sites and palindrome sequences.

This part is derived from SAMT from Antirrhinus majus.
