Comparing To Existing Solutions:
The main purpose of this experiment is to utilize the cell-free expression system for detecting heavy metal cadmium and the expression of cadmium-binding protein. One purpose is to detect the presence or absence of heavy metal cadmium in environmental water; the other is to produce binding proteins to bind cadmium in environmental water through a cadmium-induced protein expression system so as to achieve the goal of reducing pollution and improving the environment.
Our project emerges as a pivotal agent in the pursuit of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with a particular academic and compelling resonance.
Rooted in the context of Goal 3 (Good Health and Well-Being), our project distinguishes itself through its innovative approach to detecting and eradicating hazardous heavy metals from water sources, offering a comprehensive solution for enhancing public health. Moreover, the project significantly contributes to the reduction of per capita environmental impact in urban settings, particularly in terms of air quality and waste management, thereby echoing the objectives of Goal 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities). The promotion of cleaner and safer drinking water sources directly aligns with the aims of Goal 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), as we actively work toward universal access to potable water. Although not explicitly outlined, our project indirectly advances the cause of Goal 14 (Life Below Water) by averting the ingress of heavy metal pollutants into aquatic ecosystems, consequently safeguarding marine ecosystems. In this academic context, our project stands as a cornerstone in the scholarly discourse, facilitating the enrichment of health, environmental quality, and the overall well-being of communities on a global scale.
