Composite bricks - these are the best to use as less cloning is required.

All these bricks express YFP and downregulate it in response to a signal

1. Arabinose response

BBa_E0610: Arabinose turns on lac repressor which in turn shuts down Yellow fluorescent protein.

BBa_E0600: like BBa_E0610 but YFP is destabilized - slow degradation. Not listed as available.

BBa_E0611: Arabinose turns on destabilized TetR repressor which shuts down yellow fluorescent protein. Addition of Tetracyline blocks TetR repressor allowing yellow fluorescent protein to be turned back on.

BBa_E0601: Like BBa_E0611 but YFP is destabilized - slow degradation. Not listed as available

BBa_E0613: Arabinose turns on destabilized lambda repressor which shuts down yellow fluorescent protein.

BBa_E0602: Like BBa_E0613 but YFP is destabilized - slow degradation. Not listed as available

BBa_E0603: Like BBa_E0602 but baseline expression of YFP is higher. Not listed as available

=Introduction= Our brainstorming meeting on 3-16 gave us several preliminary ideas which we will explore via modeling and research
