Introduction
Purpose
Create a synthetic measurement toolkit for the precise quantification of UV radioactive radiation. (toolkit :simple. cheap and highly sensitive)
UV radiation and radioactivity are two natural radiation types we get in contact with every day
UV radiation can:
- Weaken the immune system of human
- Increase the risk of skin cancer, cataracts
- Make a depth damage in gene

Steven Hello, everyone, I’m MenXuyang from class 4 senior 2. I’m very outgoing and good at getting along with others. My hobby is watching movies, playing tennis…And my motto is just like the sentence from <The Pursuit of Happyness>:You got a dream, you got to protect it. You want some, go to get it. There is an I in "happiness", There is no Y in "happiness", It's an I. So I believe we could win only if we do our best!

Project
E. coli with the organic phosphorus degrading enzyme gene
Organ phosphorus pesticide (organ phosphorus, pesticides, Ops) is a kind of very important highly efficient pesticides. Its wide use with large amount has caused the serious environmental pollution, and it can adhere to the surface of some fruits and vegetables. Organic phosphorus belongs to the nerve poison, mainly the inhibition of acetylcholinesterase activity in blood and tissue of human, leading to accumulation of neurotransmitter, acetylcholine, thereby blocking nerve conduction, cause central nervous system poisoning.
Organic phosphorus degrading enzyme can break the phosphate ester bond. If the phosphate ester bond of organic phosphorus is hydrolyzed, its toxicity will greatly reduce. Gene engineering bacteria degradation is new technology to treat organ phosphorous pesticides pollution. Our project aims to build a kind of E. coli with the organic phosphorus degrading enzyme gene, which can transfer the harmful organ phosphorus pesticide into nearly unharmful phosphorus compounds.
