<p>Most genetically-encoded functions have not yet been converted to BioBrick parts. Thus, there are <b>many</b> opportunities to find new, cool, and important genetically encoded functions, and refine and convert the DNA encoding these functions into BioBrick standard biological parts. </p> | <p>Most genetically-encoded functions have not yet been converted to BioBrick parts.

In bacteriology, this enzyme is sought through the middle of Moeller lysine or medium lysine Taylor. This enzyme is also the first step in the production of desferrioxame B which is a siderophore. | In bacteriology, this enzyme is sought through the middle of Moeller lysine or medium lysine Taylor.

| + | This sequence codes Monooxygenase which is an enzyme that incorporate one hydroxyl group into substrates in many metabolic pathways. In this reaction, the two atoms of dioxygen are reduced to one hydroxyl and one H2O molecule by the concomitant oxidation of NAD(P)H. It is also the second step in the production of desferrioxamine B in Streptomyces coelicolor, allowing the transformation of cadeverine into N-hydroxycadaverine | ||

| + | desC is the coding sequence of DesC which is an acyl transferase of the Desferrioxamine production pathway. It is the enzyme of the third step that transform N-hydroxycadaverin into N-acetyl N-hydroxucadaverine by an Acetyl-CoA dependent manner. | ||

| + | |||
| + | This coding sequence codes DesD of Streptomyces coelicolor, which is the last protein involved in the metabolic pathway of Desferrioxamine B. This enzyme is called desferrioxamine biosynthesis protein or DesD and allows to transform N-acetyl N-hydroxycadaverine into Desferrioxamine B (by the transformation of 3a nucleoside triphosphate into 3a nucleoside 5'monophosphate-3-diphosphate). | ||
