Description
Rcn is a promoter that is activated by cobalt. A repressor is fixed to the promoter by default, and cobalt binds to this repressor, which activates the gene under control of this promoter.
Rcn is also activated by nickel, but we have not characterized this aspect.
Notes
An internal iGEM restriction site had to be mutated by QuickChange mutagenesis.
