I am expressing one enzyme, heme oxygenase 1 (HO1). The product I care about is the small molecule that enzyme makes: biliverdin IXα. Biliverdin is a hyperspectral reporter pigment. HO1 opens a heme ring and releases biliverdin IXα, Fe²⁺, and CO. I am encoding the enzyme, because the pigment is not a gene.</description></item><item><title>Week 3: Cell-Free Systems, Cloud Labs, &amp; Field trip to Ginkgo Bioworks</title><link>https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/clinton-monteiro/week-3/index.html</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/clinton-monteiro/week-3/index.html</guid><description>HTBAA Homework 3 — CFPS REACTION DESIGN FOR SFGFP, PETASE, RETEPLASE CFPS Arena → See how every coopetition design compares on $/g, explore the price map, and cost your own mix.&#10;sfGFP (PDB 2B3P; UniProt P42212)&#10;PETase (PDB 4CG1; UniProt Q6A0I4)</description></item><item><title>Final Project</title><link>https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/clinton-monteiro/final-project/index.html</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/clinton-monteiro/final-project/index.html</guid><description>● CELL-FREE BIOSENSOR PROBEReading a world, onemolecule at a timeA freeze-dried molecular classifier that wakes onarrival, decides with biochemistry, and reports inlight.Liquid waterdetectedTemperature274 KOrganicsC–H bondsRedox coupleFe²⁺/Fe³⁺&amp;CELL-FREE LOGICEMITTED SIGNATUREsfGFP 510mScarlet-I 594HABITABLE · CLASS IIwater + organics + redox energyOcean world · 4/4 conditions · 2 reporters firing · loops I like the idea of using light as a transmission mechanism, light by itself is faster than all other methods used for interstellar communication and encoding information using spectral differentiation makes sense. maybe one day we might be able to tune gravitational waves for higher accuracy in data transmission, but until that day light will provide the accuracy needed for our inference needs</description></item></channel></rss>
