Abstract

Star-shaped peptides are a promising biomaterial being proposed for use in nanomedicine. While star peptides have conventionally been synthesised in vitro, the University of Melbourne iGEM team aims to use the peptide-synthesis machinery of E. coli to produce peptides in vivo. Star peptide precursors will be expressed as heterologous proteins in E. coli. Further processing using both the protein folding enzymes of E. coli and simple in vitro chemical synthesis techniques will yield star peptides. The products will be designed such that the arms of the stars may be functionalised with peptides, proteins, and other biomacromolecules. Thus, the project will develop a novel and powerful platform technology for the synthesis of new biomaterials. The technology developed may be readily applied in a variety of biomedical contexts, including drug delivery, infection control and cancer treatment.

-<p>This wiki will be your team’s first interaction with the rest of the world, so here are a few tips to help you get started: </p>
-<ul>
-<li>State your accomplishments! Tell people what you have achieved from the start. </li>
-<li>Be clear about what you are doing and what you plan to do.</li>
-<li>You have a global audience! Consider the different backgrounds that your users come from.</li>
-<li>Make sure information is easy to find; nothing should be more than 3 clicks away.  </li>
-<li>Avoid using very small fonts and low contrast colors; information should be easy to read.  </li>
-<li>Start documenting your project as early as possible; don’t leave anything to the last minute before the Wiki Freeze. For a complete list of deadlines visit the <a href="">iGEM 2013 calendar</a> </li>
-<li>Have lots of fun! </li>
 </ul>
