These are the parts that we used!
Our project proved that endogenous iron response binding proteins will reduce the translation of transient expression vectors in CHO cells. Iron responsive elements can be inserted into any 5’UTR using our software, Foldase, and researchers will be able to see a steady but decreased translation rate of their desired product. Listed below are the parts we used in our experiments and the Iron Responsive Elements we found to work best. For questions about part usage or design contact Madison Hypes at hypesmadison@gmail.com.
