This is a template page. READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
You are provided with this team page template with which to start the iGEM season. You may choose to personalize it to fit your team but keep the same "look." Or you may choose to take your team wiki to a different level and design your own wiki. You can find some examples HERE.
You MUST have a team description page, a project abstract, a complete project description, and a lab notebook. PLEASE keep all of your pages within your Team:Example namespace.



METU_IGEM team was established by the 4 undergraduate students one year ago with just the effort of these student. Then 2 members participated. After 2007 competition, thanks to the advises of old four members the recent team was formed. The team composed of 16 undergraduate students majoring in Molecular Biology and Genetics and Biology. We were the first Turkish team which participated in jamboree from Turkey. Hence we also wanted to be the first awarded Turkish team.

We design a system for the metal carrying. In our system, there are two light sources. One of them is for the metal source and another is for the destination to where we want to carry metal atoms. And our machines have phototaxis ability. In addition to this, they have metal binding domain in outer surface and bacteriorhodopsin. When we open light at the metal source, they start to move toward source and catch the metal atoms. Then we open the light at the destination while closing the light at the source. So our machines move toward the destination. After the arrival our machines will be exposed to light with specific wavelengt to activate bacteriorhodopsin leading to small local pH changing at the outer surface. This pH changing causes the release of metal atoms from the metal binding domain. Eventually, system starts from the beginnig and so on.
