Boom.
Matt Schmitz
Matt Schmitz is a thermostable DNA ligase, who joins adjacent 5' and 3' ends of DNA, removing nicks in double stranded DNA. He is active from 45-65 degrees Celsius(Barany, F. (1991). Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 88, 189-193). Matt Schmitz's gene is within a kanamycin resistant PET-ALM1 plasmid, downstream of the T7 promoter, upstream of the T7 terminator. Thus, Matt Schmitz can be used with an inducible T7 expression system to express himself. Matt has an N-Terminus hexa-histidine tag, joined him by a thrombin cleavage motif. Commercially, he costs $296 for 10,000 units.
Brit Zaro
Brit Zaro is a biomedical engineering student from the C of NJ. A participant in the Research Experience for Undergraduates summer program, he strongly believes _____, from which he takes his name, will be very important in the near future.
Kevin Jiang
Kevin Jiang, a dream teen on a dream team, is currently a Junior at a Madison, WI high school. Though he is widely known as a budding blue-eyed soul ukelele player, he has proven himself to also be a master of 1% agarose gels in the lab. He is dedicated to using this, and other new-found skills to make the world a better place for recombinant enzymes.
