Sequences BBa_I742120_sequence (Version 1)

Description

Part contains the three genes CrtEBI, which sequentially convert farnesyl diphosphate to lycopene.

Lycopene is a natural red pigment and is an intermediate in the carotenoid synthesis pathway.

Notes

The crtI coding sequence contains 2 PstI sites. These have been removed by site-directed mutagenesis but the functionality of the nutated gene has not been confirmed. This version still contains the two PstI sites
