Parts

We’ve created three different types of colored E. Coli.




Chromoproteins
Pigmented compounds that absorb and reflect visible light.




Fluorescent Proteins
Pigmented compounds that absorb UV light and reflect visible light.




Luciferase Enzymes
Catalyze a reaction converting luciferin to oxyluciferin. Energy is released in the form of the light.

Chromoproteins
BBa_K880005 promoter/rbs
BBa_K081005 promoter/rbs
Fluorescent Proteins
Luciferase
Oscillating Luciferase

To create a natural beat generator, we created a light oscillating system. Unfortunately, the time scale was far too long for any practical beat generator (20min per beat). See Fudan 2012 Biowave for more information.
