The goal of this subproject is to create a cellulose cross-linking protein to increase material strength and allow for the modular attachment of biological sensors. This fusion protein contains two distinct cellulose-binding domains on either side of a streptavidin domain. The cellulose-binding domains cross link the cellulose fibers while the streptavidin serves as a binding domain for biological sensors. Streptavidin has a strong affinity for biotin thus, a cell expressing an outer membrane protein that has been biotinylated will bind tightly to this domain. This will allow our UAV to make use of a number of biological sensors. | The goal of this subproject is to create a cellulose cross-linking protein to increase material strength and allow for the modular attachment of biological sensors.
