Project Summary

We have used the traditional engineering approach to build a stable and flexible molecular oscillator

Our original design relies on population dynamics and was inspired by the Lotka-Volterra predation model

Every step of the development cycle (Specifications, Design, Modelling, Implementation, Testing/Validation) has been fully documented on our OWW site

Achievements

Derivation of the complete dynamical model, describing the main biochemical reactions driving our oscillator
Full theoretical analysis and detailed computer simulations, validating our design with regard to our specifications
Successful building and characterization of functional parts, providing the building blocks for the final oscillator

Secondary Projects

[http://openwetware.org/wiki/IGEM:IMPERIAL/2006/project/popsblocker PoPs Blocker]

[http://openwetware.org/wiki/IGEM:IMPERIAL/2006/project/Bio_elec_interface Biological to Electrical Interface]

As a method of controlling the activation of the positive-feedback loop in our predator-prey based oscillator, we successfully created this part, which can be used as a general Pops Blocker:

This part is placed downstream of a promoter and prevents any Pops from the promoter passing through this part
When an accompanying Cre Recombinase plasmid becomes activated, the enzyme produced will permanently cut a section of DNA from the plasmid containing this part
Only then, the polymerase can pass through this part and transcribe downstream genes.

We also worked on a Biosensor for measuring AHL concentrations in order to establish a Biological to Electrical Interface this summer.

Using an enzyme to hydrolize the lactone AHL would result in a local change in pH
Measuring the change in pH gives a measurement of how much AHL is present.

-===Oscillator based on Predator Prey dynamics===
+<center><font size="3">'''[[Media:IGEM_Imperial_2006_Poster.pdf |Poster]]'''</font></center>
-We are creating a molecular system which is able to show oscillations which can be described by the lotka-volatra equations. The molecular oscillations are powered by two distinct cell populations, one which drives the predator and a second driving the prey. '''This flexible design will allow us to alter the amplitude and wavelength''' of the oscillator by changing the relative population sizes. The system uses quorum sensing to create culture wide synchronised oscillations of N-acyl homoserine lactone. The system is working in models using realistic values and we are currently devising ways to test the bio-bricks to analyse how their performance affects our models. '''Looks very promising…'''
-===BioClock===
-We are also working on a BioClock. The clock utilises predictable pulse transmission through cells in order to generate a 24 hour clock. From our designs it will be possible to tell the time at any time of the day with good accuracy. Our design alows for easy modulation of the time period involved, allowing us to potentially generate clocks that can measure a week, month or even year. This leads to the possibility of engineering a BioCalender.

-Well...we have!
-We are devising a method of burning information onto a BioCD. The information will revealed upon application of a specific stimulus and can be read out via biological/electrical interface.
