So, we are going to digest the PY1 and PY2 fragments with ''Xba''I and ''Spe''I (the restriction sites of these 2 enzymes were added in the ends of our fragments by the amplification primers) and ligate both of them with BBa_J23100 (previously digested with ''Xba''I and ''Spe''I to remove its promoter).</p> |

Because of it we decide to give up on this biobrick, since our promoters (pDLD and pJEN1) are complete, with the Ribosome Binding Site incluse.</p> | ||
