Protein Trafficking
Overview
In nature, eukaryotic cell mitochondria usually have their protein encoded by gene in nucleus and produced from cytosol. In this process, MLS will act as signal peptide to target the protein into mitochondria.In our module, we will construct the MLS BioBrick K1119001, and characterize it quantitatively[link].
