Description
Our part takes as input the PoPS signal generated by a sensor and the output is human myoglobin protein. The codons have been optimized for expression in e. coli. The protein will be the protein that can bind a heme group and oxygen to serve its purpose as an oxygen carrier in muscular and skeletal tissues
Notes
We chose to use a strong bicistronic device as the myoglobin protein has not been shown to be hazardous to e coli.The strength was picked based on information in "Precise and reliable gene expression via standard transcription and translation initiation elements". We also chose a strong terminator(BBa_B1006) because we have no need for a leaky terminator. We also had to optimize the codons for use in k12 e. coli. The strength of the terminator was determined based on the paper "Measurement and modeling of intrinsic transcription terminators"

The sequence for this part comes from the human genome. Specifically, this gene is located on chromosome 22.
