Overview
We implement a basic diversity of initial binding proteins by creating a high-quality library consisting of over one hundred thousand Monobodies and over one hundred sixty thousand Nanobodies, respectively. Thereby we set up the foundation to build our system on and set a cornerstone for utilizing and generating libraries in iGEM.
We verified the functionality of our library by several approaches.
We verified the functionality of our library by several approaches.
We did not just show that our design and construction of our libraries was successful we also adapted the way to assemble them. Thus we established an unprecedented approach in this competition and provide future iGEM teams a great part collection to build their own libraries.

We showed that our libraries consists of several initial binders even in small extracts. Thus, the Evobody can get in the directed evolution and can be optimized by mutation and selection.
Sanger sequencing was applied to check the correctness of assemblies and to examine the appearance of the different chosen bases for positions of the variable regions of our binding proteins, respectively. Also we calculated the actual library sizes by high-throughput sequencing technologies.
