FokI wildtype cutting
Hybridize M13 ssDNA with Fok control oligos 2 and 3
Volume Reagent
10 µl M13 ssDNA (c = 127 ng/µl, 17.08.09, sample #5.2)
5 µl MgCl2 (5 mM)
5 µl Tris-HCl pH 8 (100 mM)
2 µl Fok control 2 (10 ng/µl; 1 µM)
2 µl Fok control 3 (10 ng/µl; 1 µM)
30 µl

The hybridization was also done with just Fok control 2 and with no oligos at all.
Incubation with the thermocycler and the program ORIGAMI0 (heat to 95°C and cool down slowly to 37°C over 1 hour).
10 µl of the hybridized DNA were used for a cutting experiment with 1,2 µl buffer 4 (NEB) and 0.5 µl FokI (wildtype Fok from NEB). The digest was incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C.

  • Made new "AGO BB PCR" this time just using the ad-on-tail-primer for the bb pre- and suffix, so that hte EcoRI site should remain. Still the same not fitting bands were obtained-> the problem might be caused by multimerising of the primers, even so we were not able to predict any of tose using vectir nti or compairable programms...
  • AGO assay using different targets-> were not able to reproduce the presumed cutting event from Saturdays assay probably due to the lower DNA concentration
  • Made ELISA with strep-biotinylated target oligo coated surface-> no binding of AGO bearing phages was detected using anti-M13 HRP and ABTS
  • Made test panning just like the ELISA above and eludet with TBS-MnCl2 (5mM), then TBST-MnCl2 (5mM) and then with DNase I

- infection of ER2738 with phages from lab phage stock and plating them to IPTG/Amp cells to test plates
