Introduction
A regular reporter (for example, fluorescent proteins or pigment) can only detect a narrow range of concentration of input signals, (Figure 1) because they mainly possess a Hill-function type dose-response curve. The linear proportion of such a dose-response curve is relatively narrow，causing it sensitive to only a narrow range of input intensity. Thus the regular reporters are not proper devices for quantitative measurement. In order to design a quantitative, economical and convenient aromatics detector, we decided to build a band pass filter.
Achievements
We are very proud of our many achievements from this summer. Here is a compilation of our feats! 1. We collaborated with a lab and helped 5 other iGEM teams by sharing DNA materials, characterizing their parts and modeling! (for more details Click Here) 2. We outlined in detail a new approach of human pratice called "Model iGEM". It's a small jamboree for several frequently communicating teams. (for more details Click Here) 3. We presented all fresh iGEMers with a collection and praise of historic iGEM projects to share and learn from each other! (for more details Click Here) 4. We submitted 45 high quality and well-characterized standard biobricks! (for more details Click Here) 5. We improved a previous part, which is the combination of Salicylic acid inducible promoter pSal and its transcriptional regulator NahR: BBa_J61051 The improved part is BBa_K1031610 6. We did aromatic biosensor mining using bioinformatical approach. (for more detail: Click Here) 7. We successfully constructed several biosensors to detect aromatics Therefore, we believe that we deserve a Gold Medal Prize.
