Further characterisation:
As has been stated previously, we wish our diagnostic test to be carried out in the field with little technical equipment/training, therefore the visualisation of the result must be simple. In order to do this, we decided that a colour change would be best, and that the expression of chromoproteins on activation of the toehold would be a good way to achieve this. In order to better inform ourselves and the model, and also to generate data which would be useful for testing toeholds with chromoproteins as the protein coding regions, we decided to further characterise some of the chromoproteins in the iGEM registry; amajLime, aeBlue, and eforRed.
