Design Notes

This biobrick represents the DNA template for the expression of the lacZ reporter gene in a T7 based cell-free expression system. Expression is regulated by a theophylline binding aptazyme [1]. The dsRNA sequence was PCR amplified from BBa_K3806014. The forward primer used allowed for the change of the C and T (U in the aptazyme) nucleotides in the antisense strand into G and A, respectively, resulting in a partial mismatch to the RBS (Fig. 1).
