Engineering Genetically-Encoded Mineralization and Magnetism via Directed Evolution
Liu, Xueliang; Lopez, Paola A.; Giessen, Tobias W.; Giles, Michael; Way, Jeffrey C.; Silver, Pamela A. (Nature Publishing Group, 2016)Genetically encoding the synthesis of functional nanomaterials such as magnetic nanoparticles enables sensitive and non-invasive biological sensing and control. Via directed evolution of the natural iron-sequestering ... -
Enhancement of E. coli acyl-CoA synthetase FadD activity on medium chain fatty acids
Ford, Tyler J.; Way, Jeffrey C. (PeerJ Inc., 2015)FadD catalyses the first step in E. coli beta-oxidation, the activation of free fatty acids into acyl-CoA thioesters. This activation makes fatty acids competent for catabolism and reduction into derivatives like alcohols ... -
Production of fatty acids in Ralstonia eutropha H16 by engineering β-oxidation and carbon storage
Chen, Janice S.; Colón, Brendan; Dusel, Brendon; Ziesack, Marika; Way, Jeffrey C.; Torella, Joseph P. (PeerJ Inc., 2015)Ralstonia eutropha H16 is a facultatively autotrophic hydrogen-oxidizing bacterium capable of producing polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB)-based bioplastics. As PHB’s physical properties may be improved by incorporation of ... -
Rapid construction of insulated genetic circuits via synthetic sequence-guided isothermal assembly
Torella, Joseph P.; Boehm, Christian R.; Lienert, Florian; Chen, Jan-Hung; Way, Jeffrey C.; Silver, Pamela A. (Oxford University Press, 2013)In vitro recombination methods have enabled one-step construction of large DNA sequences from multiple parts. Although synthetic biological circuits can in principle be assembled in the same fashion, they typically contain ...
