Sterilization is so critical in science, especially in medicine. We all try hard to get rid of very tiny creatures; but it is difficut sometimes. Then, we thought: What if a bacterium would stop the harmful kinds and keep the things clean? Check out our project that presents a new sterilization technique.
How to stop a gram negative bacteria? Well, some proteins do that. In our Project, Limulus anti-lipopolysaccharide factor binds gram negative cell Wall and stops its growth. Check out our LALF page to learn more about our protein.
The fellowship of colors... Our "rainbow" protein, reflectin, is the second protein we studied on. It is used as an indicator in our Project. To learn more, check out our reflectin page.
Our idea may seem reasonable and possible. But, you would have some doubts about it. See what we have done in our lab and how we tested our proteins.
So, what? Experiments are performed, but what do they mean? Do proteins really work? Well, if you are really curious and ask such questions, visit our results page to find your answers.
It is just the beginning. Who would guess what will happen in next few years? Actually, we foreseen some applications about our proteins that may be very useful in the future. Check out the prospective projectsin our future plan page.
