About CPU

Welcome to the wiki for CPU (China Pharmaceutical University) iGEM 2008 team.
[http://www.cpu.edu.cn CPU (China Pharmaceutical University)], originally the National Pharmaceutical School founded in 1936, is one of the “211 project” key universities affiliated with Ministry of Education. CPU was China’s first independent school of pharmacy and one of the biggest multi-specialty university of pharmacy with the complete pharmaceutical subjects in China. It is located in Nanjing, the ancient capital city for six dynasties in China and is composed of three campuses including Xuanwu campus, Yanziji campus and Zhenjiang campus. The new campus, Jiangning, which is under construction, covers an area of 2439 mu（1mu=667 square meters）. Its overall construction area is 670,000square meters. It will become a garden-like modern campus with agreeable surroundings and complete facilities, overflowed with vigor.

Adding new chapters to the melody of life
- All of the proteins in organism are composed by natural amino acids of 20 kinds. But some research shows that, some unnatural amino acids have better effects when they are instead of relevant natural ones and are introduced into the organism. In our experiment, we insert different unnatural amino acids into GFP to make it shows other colors.

Customizing a Biomacromolecule
- In this experiment, our aim is to design a device which can synthesize a biomacromolecule with homogeneous molecular weight in a fixed time controlled by the concentration of the lactose.
