<h2> UNITN Trento modeling collaboration </h2>
 +
<p align="justify"> James helped the UNITN-Trento team with their modeling. Their project has a protein called proteorhodopsin (PR) which is a light driven proton pump, this pump can be used to produce ATP molecules. The team asked James "what is the number of ATP molecules that can be produced per second as a function of light irradiance that hits the bacterial membrane?" James found that the reaction was based on Michaelis-Menten kinetics as the PR must complete its cycle before it can absorb another photon and at high light irradiance this leads to saturation.<sup>[1][2]</sup> </p>

iGEM Kent 2015


Collaborations

Sharing and collaboration are core values of iGEM. We encourage you to reach out and work with other teams on difficult problems that you can more easily solve together.

Which other teams can we work with?

You can work with any other team in the competition, including software, hardware, high school and other tracks. You can also work with non-iGEM research groups, but they do not count towards the iGEM team collaboration gold medal criterion.

In order to meet the gold medal criteria on helping another team, you must complete this page and detail the nature of your collaboration with another iGEM team.

Here are some suggestions for projects you could work on with other teams:

  • Improve the function of another team's BioBrick Part or Device
  • Characterize another team's part
  • Debug a construct
  • Model or simulating another team's system
  • Test another team's software
  • Help build and test another team's hardware project
  • Mentor a high-school team
