- | <p class="text">Our goal is to produce a Top4 Metal Binding Protein (T4-MBP) which attaches itself to the cellulose of plants and binds four heavy metals of global relevance. We intend to use naturally occurring metallothioneins - proteins whose specific amino acid sequences alone make them able to form complexes with heavy metals.<br> We are planing to use our protein in terrestrial (<i>Arabidopsis thaliana</i>) as well as aquatic plants (<i>Wolffia</i>). Our genetic construct is ultimately to be brought into the target organism with the aid of a transformation by <i>Rhizobium radiobacter</i> (formerly <i>Agrobacterium tumefaciens</i>). More information are availabe under: <a href="https://2014.igem.org/Team:Hannover/Project" target="_blank">Project</a> | + | <p class="text">Our goal is to produce a Top4 Metal Binding Protein (T4-MBP) which attaches itself to the cellulose of plants and binds four heavy metals of global relevance.
