Our Biobrick Parts ALDH1 and ALDH1-His have been experimentally validated using GCMS and they work as expected.
We have carried out an extensive research on the problem of malaria in underdeveloped/developing world, that has constituted the whole of our Human Practices. It involved investigating various aspects of malaria starting with global health issues to artemisinin resistance and supply logistics of the drug. Outcome of our research can be found on our Human Practices page.
