Prepared for site dirrected mutagenesis

  • Diluted DNA from last round to give 10ng/37ul
Tube conc of miniprep ng/ul total=(100ul) x uL miniprep added to y mL milliQ
21A 192 2ul in 1.42ml
22A 176 2ul in 1.3ml
23A 247 1ul in 0.91ml

Site dirrected Mutagenesis Round #3

  • Applied the stratagene Site directed mutagenesis protocolto the following DNA and primer pairs, which when plated out on LB AMP plates producing the numbers of colonies shown. Several of these were picked and tubes marked with a character suffix as shown in table.
  • PCR conditions:
    • seg 1 95 degC 2min x 1
    • seg 2 x 18
      • 95 deg 1min
      • 60 deg 50 sec
      • 68 deg 15min
    • seg 3 68 deg 7min x 1
    • seg 4 4 deg indefinately

  • Results of PstI diagnostics

Conclude 32B and 33A are good, and 31A & B are disturbingly different but similar so we should take both of them forward. Poor Jell though.
