So, without going into too much detail the use of crispr/cas9 in our studies is even simpler than driving protein mutagenesis. We have been exploring CRISPRi has a mechanism to inhibit key promoter repressors of our gene of interest. We've found that we can affect affect specific protein abundances by changing the rates of both RNA synthesis and protein degradation, based on the two cross-kingdom control mechanisms CRISPRi and the N-end rule for protein stability.

Ahh yes! We are new to the favicon game, thank you for pointing this out for us!

We should have the molecular structure of H2O2 as our favicon

There have been many false starts in the green chemicals field. I think the most prudent way to make this an actual revolution is to make money;)

Thank you! Building a chemical company is no small feat, but being able to de-risk the technology scale-up at every step is absolutely critical to success.
