Week 3

Tuesday 17th July 2007

  1. Restriction Digests (see Protocol 7):
    • BBa_J23119 (strong constitutive promoter) pSB1A2. 1 x NheI, 1 x PvuI. 680bp, 1430bp
    • BBa_R0062 (HSL and luxR) pBB1A2. 1 x EcoRI, 1 x PvuI. 1460bp, 660bp
    • BBa_J04500 (IPTG inducer and RBS) pSB1AK3. 1 x PvuII, 2 x PvuI. 2250bp, 1030bp, 730bp
    • BBa_p1010 (death gene) pSB3K3. 1 x BamHI, 2 x XhoI. 190bp, 2390bp,840bp.
    • BBa_E0040 (GFP no promoter) pSB1A2. 1 x Hime II, 1 x PvuI. 1630bp, 1170bp.

Wednesday 18th July 2007

  1. Last night we diluted primers to 100 pmol/ul by adding the amount of dH2O given on the order sheet, and made working solutions to 10 pmol/ul (2 x 200 ul each - 20 ul stock and 180 ul dH2O).
  2. Maija ran a gel of the restriction digests to check the sizes of the biobricks. These were the maps we made yesterday.
  3. Maia is extracting DNA from 3 samples of ****, which were plated yesterday and grown in liquid media, using MoBio PowersoilTM DNA purification kit (see Protocol 8); only change was to shorten "shaking" time from 10 to 2 minutes.
  4. PCR trial run using Reddymix and Touch 2 done on:

Thursday 19th July 2007

  1. Maia redid PCR on pGLTUR and pQF52 using Reddymix and a gradient program (See Protocol 9) to minimise the non-specific amplification evident in previous gels. New DntR suffix primer has arrived. Used the following primer sets.
    • XylR prefix and XylR suffix
    • Pr prefix and Pr suffix
    • Pr prefix and XylR suffix
    • Pu prefix and Pu suffix
    • DntR prefix and DntR suffix 2
