       <p>The main achievement was the establishment of the PRIA. We demonstrated that the detection of analytes in drinking water is feasible in a biological system without transcription or translation of reporterproteins, but just by detecting the disruption of the bond between plasmid DNA and a repressorprotein.</p>

           <p>The repressor for arsenic and the Repressor of the <i>blc</i> operon, as well as our model protein LacI were tagged with a sfGFP c-terminally. Their spectra were characterized and their functionality could be proved by EMSA. LacI-sfGFP and arsR showed a clear EMSA shift. </p>

      <p>Since the repressorproteins we wanted to detect were tagged with sfGFP, they were detectable via fluorescence. DNA was labeled with Cy3 containing primers, therefore it was also detectable on paper. Both components were visualized with the Ettan Dige.
