Our Lab Book
Blue light source
We have devised a simple method to create your own light source from cheap, readily accessible materials, that can be customised for light intensity and pulse frequency - with minimal prior knowledge of electric circuits or experience with building them.
Photobioreactor
Addressing the industrial aspect of our, we investigated options for potential bioreactors for bulk synthesis of our target material - NAD.
FRET Tests
As a proof of principle for the expressability and association of the CRY2-CIB1 optogenetic system, we sought to conduct a fluorescence assay based upon the Forster resonance energy transfer (FRET) phenomenon.
Solubility Tests
Even a successfully expressed protein may not function properly - solubility of our product was one indicator of how successful our system would be.
Lab Notes
A documentation of experiments we have run from the beginning to the end of our project.
