          1 ul Synechosystis (10ng/ul)
          10 ul HF Buffer 5x
          1 ul dNTP
          5 ul primer mix
          0.5 ul Phusion
          32.5 ul H2O
          --------------
          50 ul total
          Conditions:
          1. 98°C        30s
          2. 98°C        8s
          3. 56°C        30s
          4. 72°C        2:10m
          5. Go to 2 for additional 29 cycles
          6. 72°C        10m
          7. 4°C         ---  

Amplification introduces sites NdeI and KpnI-BamHI into the gene.

2. Amplification is followed by DNA Gel Electrophoresis is used to confirm that the length of the PCR fragment is the same as the corresponding gene (~4kb).

3. PCR Clean Up/Purification

4. Restriction Digestion of gene S-chlH with NdeI and BamHI using the following conditions:

          Schl-H                    
          41 ul S-chlH fragment
          5 ul NEB 3 (10x)
          0.5 ul BSA (100x)
          1.8 ul NdeI
          1.2 ul BamHI
          ------------------
          50 ul total

Digest in 37°C for 2 hours.

Add 0.5 ul NdeI and 0.5 ul BamHI.

Digest in 37°C for additional 30 minutes.

5. DNA Gel Electrophoresis is used to confirm the correct band of ~4kb.

6. Gel Extraction is performed to isolate the correct band(~4kb).


7. pET3A:

Innoculate pET3A single colony from plate into 250 mL flask containing 50 mL LB + 50 ul Carb. Allow to grow in 30°C shaker overnight.

Miniprep cultures.
