Abstract
As a non-metallic element, arsenic has a very important use in industry. But equally, its harm to the human body is also very huge, even causing cancers. So what we need to do is find a more efficient way to detect the presence and the amount of arsenic around us. In this case, we design to combine the arsA, arsD, and arsR genes to make up the ARS operon pattern which could respond to the presence of arsenic. Afterward, we use green fluorescent proteins to ’ring’ the alarm by glowing. We hope our project could promote the public awareness of arsenic threat and provide a better solution to detect arsenic.
Solving !
Our team is to solve the health damage caused by staying up late.
Do you know ?
Lacking of sleep will lead to the accumulation of ROS in the intestine, which will damage human tissues, lead to the aging of human body, shorten life span, induce chronic diseases, and even induce to sudden death.
It can help to eliminate the excess ROS in a timely manner, reduce the accumulation of ROS and the production of oxidation reaction, and play a role in preventing the damage that ROS brings.
Goal ?
Our goal is to create an engineered probiotics that can naturally produce SOD in the way of synthetic biology, then to produce a probiotics drink product that allows the probiotics to enter the intestinal tract by taking it, so as to eliminate the excessive ROS produced by staying up late.
