Finally, we decided to use parts of Denmark 2010 iGEM team, where transmembrane proteins were used (large clusters at the cell poles). The end of the week was mainly for study of the activation of mfp-5.

Week 19
We spent all weekend working on the research proposal for OSLI. It was a long and stressful weekend but and the end we did it! It was very nice to see all of us working for the same goal. This week we, as the new iGEM team, had a first meeting with Han de Winde, the head of the department of biotechnology.
Week 18
With the team we decide to concentrate our research in one of all the Mussel foot proteins: the Mussel foot protein 5 (Mfp-5). Esmee and I did a deeper research about the properties of Mfp-5. At the end of the week we had already concluded in our final idea and its subprojects: cell-cell adhesion, cell-surface adhesion, and the regulation of the adhesive properties of Mfp-5. On Friday afternoon the team had a meeting with the other three Dutch iGEM teams in Amsterdam.

After a weekend that we had enough time to relax and think all our possibilities, we conclude in the topic of our iGEM project. In the beginning the idea was to combine both topics. Finally, the adhesive Mussel foot protein (Mfp) "stuck" in our minds... From Wednesday we started the literature research about our topic and its prospects.

We finally end the week with the two best ideas for us!

All of us were very creative and we came up with many new ideas for topics.
Week 14
"Our first Brainstorming session". We came up with a lot of interesting ideas. It was a very productive day! Our goal for the next meetings is to have as many topics as possible.
Week 13
This week a presentation from two members of the last year's iGEM team of TU Delft (Nadine and Eva) was in our schedule. They gave us a short introduction about Synthetic Biology, their way of working last year, their advices, but also about our responsibilities while working for iGEM.
