Biology
Overview of the biology part
Biology circuits of SmoColi. Our system can be activated with sensors for different small molecules.

SmoColi is a sensing and degrading system for different toxic small molecules in smoke. By degradation a gradient of the small molecule in the tube is produced. With a given Input by the small molecule, a bandpassfilter which consists of a low pass- and a high passfilter is activated resulting in a green GFP band at a certain concentration. A second high pass filter for very high concentration was inculed as an alarm system to turn the whole system red.
