Meeting 8
Funding
No letters received
Sponsor letters to UvA and VU will be sent.
Internship funding might be useful.
Labyrinth tv will be contacted by supervisor Douwe Molenaar.
Projects discussion
methane producing E.coli
Yuri talked with expert Martijn Bekker.
Need to check if the trans-membrane protein is a problem:
- Toxicity
- Can methane be made from lactose?
- Can methane be made from Acetyl-CoA?
Plastic degrading bacteria
- It can be useful, but will it produce enough?
- Could plastic be grown on food waste?
Oppurtunistic infections with AIDS
- PAMPs are known,those can be used as targets
- Different proteins show a good individual result while blasting
- Look at Slovenia iGEM 2006
Neglected diseases
- we don't use viruses
- Parasites will be checked, but full-grown are to difficult
Signal transduction
- Robustness
- Signals in cells are noisy
- Peter Swain is an expert on this
- What application?
Chemotaxis
- Examples: Influence flagella, Circadian rhythms influencing
- Almhof is working on this
- It has been used before in iGEM
- Good idea: Let a bacteria take a molecule for transport
- Size and precision?
- Application?
For next meeting: Check the projects for feasibility
Dates
- 9th of May 16:00 Next meeting
- 10th of May 12:00 Media training
- 11th of May meeting at VU at 16:00
- 12th of May meeting at UvA at 16:00
- 13th of May 16:00 global meeting of Netherlands iGEM teams
