Discussion of Main Issues

(make list as we go along. add an issue if you want).

1. effect on viability: osmolarity of solution (pressure exerted on cell membrane) -- use sorbitol?
2. testing scFv: need a const. promoter with RBS -- biobrick -- do western!
   • jenny is point person, get materials to do western early next week
3. scFv linker-fusion issue
   • why is the linker different than other scFvs?
   • can we introduce another linker, to allow fusion to preserve geometry
