Design Notes

This biobrick was made from BBa_I712019. 6 bases upstream of the start codon, which were presumably present in BBa_I712019 to make a proper eukaryotic context for the start codon, were removed for improved expression in E. coli.

Note that the luciferase is temperature sensitive. Growing the host at 30°C will result in considerably increased brightness.

Photinus pyralis, from BBa_I712019
