Imperial iGEM 2014

Overview

By attaching functional proteins to cellulose we can expand it's properties and selectivity capture specific contaminants in water. We used five different cellulose binding domains and fused them to different metal binding proteins, and sfGFP. We performed assays to test the binding of the CBD fusions to our cellulose.

Key Achievements

  • Made cellulose binding domains

Introduction

Turbidity

Phytochelatin-dCBD metal binding assay

Nickel filtration assay
