Superoxide Generator Improvement
https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2014/c/c5/800px-KillerRed-2.png
Methods Used
- Optimization of codons in KillerRed by eliminating rare codon usage.
- Optimization of codons in Supernova, the monomeric version of KillerRed, by eliminating rare codon usage.
- Photobleaching analysis of KillerRed, Codon Optimized KillerRed, and Codon Optimized Supernova.
