Part Main Page        Arabinose -> Light        Add Data       


Description
This part is based on part BBa_K325219. Two site-directed mutagenesis events have been carried out on the luciferase, an Asn286 Ser mutation was used to create part BBa_K325209 which is the green wild-type luciferase]. Then a {{{substitution}}} mutation was used to create a {{{colour}}} bioluminescence.
