The Open Enzyme Collection consists of 81 genes for enzymes that are "workhorses" of molecular biology, including DNA polymerases, RNA polymerases, DNA ligases, reverse transcriptases and restriction enzymes. The enzymes are useful in both basic and applied fields as diverse as genomics, diagnostics, biodiversity, synthetic biology, DNA origami, immunology, biochemistry and more.

The foundational technologies enabled by this collection of include polymerase chain reaction (PCR), cloning, isothermal amplification, reverse transcription of RNA into DNA, and dNTP synthesis. Additionally, the Open Enzyme collection contains enzyme genes for fixing damaged and degraded DNA prior to amplification, enzymes for cutting protein sequences to remove unwanted parts, and DNA-binding proteins that can be fused with other enzymes to improve functionality.

The Open Bioeconomy Lab designed and codon-optimized the Open Enzymes parts for expression in Escherichia coli bacteria. All enzymes are obtained from expired patents or for various reasons are not encumbered by patent rights.



What can the collection be used for?   
Researchers can use the collection as the basis of manufacturing their own enzymes by cloning them into an expression vector of their choice and then transforming into E. coli bacteria. This can help reduce lab costs and overcome supply chain issues, particularly in areas of the world where enzymes are harder to obtain. The enzymes can also be used as a base to improve functionality or add new functions through genetic engineering and directed evolution.

Open Enzymes are not provided in expression vectors. In order to produce an enzyme, you must subclone your gene of interest into an expression vector. Open Enzymes are also compatible with the E. coli  Protein Expression Toolkit (all parts have CE overhangs). More information about the collection can be obtained from the Open Bioeconomy Lab.

This product is made available under the unilateral OpenMTA

Some or all of these items are for use only as permitted by a research exemption.

 

Instructions for Use:

Open Enzymes is Shipped as purified and dried down plasmid DNA stained with Cresol Red in one 96-well plate. Each well contains approximately 50 ng of DNA. Cresol Red will not impact plasmid transformation.

Transform into Top10 E. coli or equivalent. Pick a colony and culture at 37C overnight, with shaking at around 300rpm. The selection marker for all parts is ampicillin.

You may find an expression guide on the Open Bioeconomy Lab website.

The current KOD polymerase gene (Well F1) produces a nonfunctional protein. We are working to replace the polymerase gene with a functional version. Thank you to Tomas Moravec for pointing out the issue!

If you have already received the collection, check out the plate layout.
