Results

  • Gel did not show any results.


Maria and Afton

  • Overnight cultures of J23100 and J23101
    • J23100 was vaguely pink
    • J23101 was slightly pink
      • They should probably be left for another day to grow to see more expression

Spectrophotometry Measurements for Digestion

Part No. A260 (nm) A280 (nm) A260/A280 Vol. (µL) Conc. (µg/mL) Amt (µg)
J23110 0.037 0.027 1.378 37 74 2.74
J23113 0.020 0.012 1.667 22 40 0.88
J23116 0.015 0.010 1.500 27 30 0.81
R0011 0.010 0.007 1.420 28 20 0.56
R0040 0.009 0.007 1.286 24 18 0.432
  • Because the concentrations were so low for J23113, J23116, and R0011, more frozen stocks will be grown up and Miniprepped. R0040, J23110 have more minipreps in stock in the freezer
  • Electrophoresis Gel Results
    • It is really difficult to see promoters from digestions when run on the gel

Tasks

  • Today I am running a gel on the purified PCR products to confirm the reaction. The gel is 1% agarose, running at 100 volts for 45 minutes.

Maria and Afton

  • Make Cryogenic stock of the overnight cultures J23100, J23101
  • Miniprep J23100 and J23101
  • Take Spectrophotometry of J23110, J23113, J23116, R0011, R0040
  • Digest J23110, J23113, J23116, R0011, R0040
  • Run a gel on Digests: J23106, J23107, J23110, J23113, J23116, R0011, R0040, Miniprepped 110
    • Miniprepped J23110 was chosen because it had the greatest amount of DNA at the time
  • Ligate J23110, J23113, J23116, R0011, R0040 with pSB1C3 w/p1010, J06702 (RET)
    • pSB1C3 w/p1010, J06702 (RET) were digested and were run on a gel August 12 and was reused for the ligations done today
    • Ligations will be frozen until cuvettes come in

Wetlab

Maria and Afton

  • Miniprep was done
  • LB was made
  • Spectrophotometry was done
  • Digestion was done
    • Next time BSA and other BioBrick Assmbly Materials are aliquoted, they should be placed in smaller tubes, possibly PCR tubes, because it is very difficult to see the samples
  • Electrophoresis Test was done
    • Smaller wells were used so more samples could be placed on one gel (15 wells instead of 8)
