This is a template page. READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
You are provided with this team page template with which to start the iGEM season. You may choose to personalize it to fit your team but keep the same "look." Or you may choose to take your team wiki to a different level and design your own wiki. You can find some examples HERE.
You MUST have the following information on your wiki:
  • a team description
  • project description
  • safety information (did your team take a safety training course? were you supervised in the lab?)
  • team attribution (who did what part of your project?)
You may also wish to add other page such as:
  • lab notebook
  • sponsor information
  • other information
REMEMBER, keep all of your pages within your teams namespace.
Example: 2013hs.igem.org/Team:Deerfield_MA/Our_Pets



You can write a background of your team here. Give us a background of your team, the members, etc. Or tell us more about something of your choosing.

Tell us more about your project. Give us background. Use this as the abstract of your project. Be descriptive but concise (1-2 paragraphs)

Project

Student at SFLS want to produce an enzyme known as “acid phosphatase” (“AP”). AP is known to be inhibited by heavy metals, and it might be inhibited by different pesticides. In order to attain AP, students could simply order it or extract it from a plant. For IGEM, however, they will need to do it the hard way: they will need to force a bacteria to produce more AP than it normally does. This can be achieved by: 

1.Find out what gene is responsible for AP production. Figure out if it can be easily inserted into e.coli or yeast genome.

2.Order this gene from a laboratory.

3.Insert this gene into e.coil or yeast.

4.Isolate AP after it has been expressed.

5. Use fluorometric analysis and note the baseline wavelengthoflight shot through a agarose/jellose/AP in the presence of an acid.

Add different heavy metals or pesticides to this mixture and do other fluorometric analyses. These analyses should yield different wavelengths because AP activity is inhibited by heavy metals, etc.
