Modules Description

Our project is comprised of four modules: cell vaibility & fatty acid quantification, fatty acid sensing mechanism, protein trafficking and glyoxylate shunt. These four modules are essential to introduce inducible our glyoxylate shunt into human liver cell.Hover your mouse and click on the images below to learn more about each modules!

Cell Viability & Fatty Acid Quantification

Responsible for:
Measuring cell viability at different fatty acid concentration & measure fatty acid uptake rate
Parts submitted: -

Fatty Acid Sensing Mechanism

Responsible for:
Introduce inducible system that allows tunable fatty acid uptake by sensing fatty acid concentration
Parts submitted: -

Protein Trafficking

Responsible for:
Target ACE proteins into mitochondria
Parts submitted: BBa_K1119000, BBa_K1119001 & BBa_K1119009

Glyoxylate Shunt

Responsible for:
Introduce glyoxylate enzymes responsible for the shunt
Parts submitted:BBa_K1119002, BBa_K1119003, BBa_K1119004, BBa_K1119006 & BBa_K1119008
