| |
| - | ===Week Zero===
| |
| - |
| |
| - | *Familiarising with standard lab procedures for the past week (bacterial culture growth, restriction enzyme usage, agarose gel electrophoresis).
| |
| - |
| |
| - | *Will start designing some biobricks for the project today.
| |
| - |
| |
| - | ===Week 1===
| |
| - |
| |
| - | ====Canditate Proteins for Biobricks====
| |
| - |
| |
| - | *Isolated 3 canditate proteins to act as carriers for our biobricks. These are FhuA,Fiu & OsmE. Started to design primers to amplify the selected genes via PCR.
| |
| - |
| |
| - | *Primers designed and ordered. Waiting for their arrival to do PCR! :D
| |
| - |
| |
| - | ====Reporters,RBS,Backbones====
| |
| - |
| |
| - | *Decided to use 3 reporter genes, 1 RBS, 1 High Copy plasmid backbone for now.
| |
| - |
| |
| - | =====Reporters=====
| |
| - | *RFP(Bba_E1010)
| |
| - | *GFP(Bba_E1040)
| |
| - | *LacZ(Bba_I732005)
| |
| - | =====RBS=====
| |
| - | *Bba_J61100 - From Anderson Family
| |
| - | =====Plasmid Backbone=====
| |
| - | *BBa_J04450 ; pSB1A3
| |
| - |
| |
| - | *Tried to extract DNA from the iGEM biobricks and transfrom into bacteria.
| |
| - |
| |
| - | *Transformations do not work properly with non-commercial E.coli strain (XL-1).
| |
| - |
| |
| - | *Transformations worked the 2nd time round with commercial Nova Blue E.coli Strain. DNA samples in toolkit must be of low concentrations!
| |
| - |
| |
| - | *Regrew bacterial colonies to amplify DNA of reporters,RBS,backbone.
| |
| - |
| |
| - | *Miniprepped the DNA of Reporters,RBS,plasmid backbone and made glycerol stocks.
| |
| - |
| |
| - | *Realised that we are faced with a problem when wanting to assemble biobricks for protein fusions.
| |
| - |
| |
| - | ===Week 2===
| |
| - |
| |
| - | ====PCR====
| |
| - |
| |
| - | *Primers finally arrived. Did PCR to amplify carrier genes.
| |
| - |
| |
| - | *PCR worked. PCR products (3 candidate proteins) and inserted into biobrick backbone pSB1A3.
| |
| - |
| |
| - | ====In frame protein fusions====
| |
| - |
| |
| - | *Started working on finding an easy assembly method for in-line protein fusions.
| |
| - |
| |
| - | *Developed the design for a Bioscaffold-Linker transformer family (inspired by Bioscaffolds). Should allow fusions of proteins and all RFC10 biobricks in-frame after using Bioscaffold specific restriction enzymes.
