Description
This is a synthetically designed protein that is able to bind a mixture gold, silver, aluminium and titanium. Its design was based around hijacking myoglobin's structure and replacing the loops and turns with our own metal binding peptides. This gave us a truly synthetic part for the registry.
Notes
When designing this part we based it around an existing protein, myoglobin, which had short α-helices and β-sheets. This allowed us to hijack the loops and turns of the myoglobin protein and inset our own metal binding sites. Some changes to the protein sequence was required as we used gBlocksTM which are a maximum of 500 base pairs in length.
Source
This part is biologically synthesised.
