I would like to biomanufacture a wearable made from bacterial cellulose where color, thickness, transparency and surface pattern are influenced by a person’s brain activity. I am interested in this idea because many of the brain to computer interfaces translate brain activity into numbers, images and sound but not really something you can feel. With this idea, I hope to explore what happens when brain activity instead influences a material that grows slowly and can be touched.https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/sukie-wang/week-02-hw-dna-design/index.htmlMon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/sukie-wang/week-02-hw-dna-design/index.htmlPart 1 : Expression Target I would express MscL (large conductance mechanosensitive channel) from E. coli as the primary mechanosensing protein. MscL is a membrane protein that opens in response to mechanical tension in the cell membrane, which allows mechanical stimulation to be converted into an intracellular ionic signal. In my proposed idea, a person’s physiological state would be measured electronically and translated by a machine into controlled fluid flow and shear stress. The goal is to use MscL as the first biological interface through which cells can sense this mechanically encoded human information.https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/sukie-wang/week-03-hw-cell-free/index.htmlMon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/sukie-wang/week-03-hw-cell-free/index.htmlA. COMPARE CELL-FREE REACTION COMPOSITIONS Why does the concentration of potassium glutamate and magnesium glutamate differ between compositions? Which is more sensitive? a. Compositions I believe that magnesium and potassium glutamate differ for different reasons. Magnesium differs because of the energy substrate where PEP, and the inorganic phosphate it generatesm, combinds and sequesters Mg². Due to such, the PEP based systems is in need of a high total magnesium to keep enough avaliable Mg²⁺ for the ribosomes. Pyruvate binds magnesium weakly and produces almost no phosphate. Because of this, the optimal avaliable magnesium level is reached with even less than half the total magnesium.https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/sukie-wang/final-project/index.htmlMon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/sukie-wang/final-project/index.html
