Title

Welcome to the Wiki of Team Tuebingen!

For this year's iGEM competition we have set out to create a viable system for the conversion of any blood type to the emergency blood type O using enzymes that are able to cut off the blood type antigens corresponding to blood types A, B and AB.

In order to prevent the mixing of the bacterial enzymes with donor blood we wanted to immobilise the enzymes on an activated glass matrix by attaching a so called N-intein to the enzymes and fusing the C-intein (a short oligopeptide) to the matrix.
