Rescue
CyperMan A CYP is an enzyme with hydroxylation powers. The hydroxylation performed by CYPs are expensive to produce with conventional chemical methods and it can therefore be greatly beneficial to utilize our CyperMans as little synthetic biology factories. Read more. We have been working on two parallel projects, with two different aims. They are described in more detail below. The project regarding the human p450's was unfortunately put to a halt. This is why our focus has been on the project involving the cytochrome p450's from plants (the "Kill fungi" project). CyperMan - Kills fungus
We hope to be able to develop bacteria that can kill fungus. CyperMan - Saves the Fish
Impact factors: Our project has the aim to characterize different subfamilies of Cytochrome p450 as a BioBrick and thus add it to the partsregistry of BioBricks, a continuously growing collection of genetic parts that can be mixed and matched to build synthetic biology devices and systems (partsregistry.org). Hence our project contributes to the expansion of the partsregistry, benefitting all researchers with interest in these particular proteins. The partsregistry is founded on an open source philosophy, a philosophy we see as a great advantage for development and improvement of the number BioBricks already existing. The addition of different cytochrome p450 to this catalogue will perhaps encourage other groups to look at other aspects of the many functions of p450's and thus contribute to the formation of new biological systems – further expanding the field of synthetic biology. |
