1/2 preprints out overnight!! 📢
The interesting effects of co-encapsulating enzymatic pathways in virus-based nanocompartments in yeast.
📈 titres, but that was not the surprise - it changes the product profile from promiscuous enzymes!

Locked and loaded 🔒! Can’t wait to see if our proteins have expressed. SDS-PAGE results coming soon 👀

Had tons of fun today with the spectrophotometer. Feel like proud parents seeing our #cells grow 👪 🥹

It seems that our E. coli cells aren’t the only things transforming today 🤨.

Thanks @TwistBioscience and @Decode_Science for synthesising our genes for us! Cant wait to transform and express these into e coli!

#Syntheticbiology requires the use of numerous reagents and kits. 🧪

Keen to try out some of these kits from @NEBiolabs 🦋
Thanks to @timson_georgina for providing the goodies!

Another week in the @SynBioChallenge... and yet another cool #synbio experiment!

Today @UTS_Science, we performed affinity chromatography to purify some #protein #nanoparticles for the #vaccine we've designed 💉
We can’t wait to see how they turn out!

[UTS Aus SynBio Challenge Team @UTS_SynBio_Team]

Yay fam 👋 We're the @UTS_Science team in the @SynBioChallenge!

Our project explores the use of protein #nanoparticles for #vaccines 💉

Today, we're making recombinant proteins! It's cool how we can engineer microbes to make stuff 🔧🧬

Follow to see our #synbio journey 😀
