UC Davis iGEM 2014

Welcome to the 2014 UC Davis iGEM team wiki!

More than 65% of the extra virgin olive oil on shelves around the US is defective due to poor handling or deliberate adulteration with extraneous, non-beneficial oils. The most prevalent and identifying defect in olive oil is rancidity, indicating the absence of expected health benefits such as antioxidants and polyunsaturated fats. This summer, we are assembling a biosensor capable of quickly and cheaply evaluating rancidity defects in the chemical profile of olive oil, providing both consumers and retailers with a means of ensuring product quality.

Protein Engineering

Learn about how we engineered substrate specificity of Aldehyde Dehydrogenases and how we characterized specificity profiles.

Electrochemistry

Take a look at how we developed a robust, coupleable electrochemical system to enable detection of various aldehydes in solution.

Signal Processing

Take a look at the potentiostat and corresponding software we developed to acquire and process our data.

Results

Here's the criteria that we met for this year's team.
