Having found a Lead Binding Protein and its corresponding Lead Promoter in the literature, we began to generate a number of ideas for our lead detector design. We began with a simple detector: The lead promoter could be placed in front of Green Fluorescent Protein, GFP. Once lead enters the cell, it activates the Lead Binding Protein, which activates our Lead Promoter, which in turn gives us some GFP output. But we realized that we could make this simple detector much more effective with an amplification circuit. | Having found a Lead Binding Protein and its corresponding Lead Promoter in the literature, we began to generate a number of ideas for our lead detector design.
