| − | To achieve the expected results we discussed and proposed four plans: A) Free ferritins combined with RNA thermometer. B) MTS (Membrane Targeting Sequence)-Ferritins combined with Two Component System. C) Free ferritins combined with free inteins. D) A fusion of ferritin subunit and intein. For Mag-receiver and Thermo-regulator, we chose to construct ferritin ftnA and RNA thermometer first.

| |
| − | To obtain ftnA gene by PCR, Top 10 cells were cultured in LB liquid medium. After failing in PCR for several days, Jinyang Liang and Qikai Qin decided to extract genome DNA from Top 10 instead of doing PCR directly.

We did another more simulationand finally got a good result. From that we could conclude that ftnA is possible to heat the whole cell. Ruipeng Wei also did the sensitivity analysis of the ftnA’s deterministic model to find out every parameter’s importance of the model.<br>(Device Part)For a better view of bacteria attraction experiment, Xihan zhang designed a device made of acrylic plate whose core is a six well plate struck by six magnets.

| − | This week the main problem was that native page didn’t develop color. We speculated that the protein concentration was not enough.<br>The first preliminary experience prepared for ferritin concentration per cell quantification was conducted. At first Jie Lian measured the ferritin purified product prepared for adjusting the optical density quantitation protocol with BCA protein quantitation kit. But the data was not ideal because the measurement error was big.

| − | Jie Lian prepared the ferritin purified product with final concentration about 1.2mg/ml and mineralized samples. Under Jian’an Wu’s assistance, Jie Lian and Weiyan Chen test the temperature change in samples under alternating magnetic field with fiber temperature detector in Laboratory of Innovative Medical Technology of Tsinghua University. Unfortunately there was no obvious temperature change. Dr. Wang explained that it is hard to observe the heated effect of ferritin solution.
