# Set up overnights of parts 48-51
+
-
# Dilute 1 ul overnight into 1ml
+
-
# Add 1 mm IPTG and let grow for four hours
+
-
# After cells have all grown up uniformly start boiling water for the boil step
+
-
# Add 100uL of overnight to a 1.5mL tube
+
-
# Pellet by spinning at max speed for 30 secs in the microcentrifuge
+
-
# discard supernatent
+
-
# Pull an aliquot of 5x sample loading buffer out of the freezer and thaw
+
-
# Add 20uL BME to aliquot
+
-
# Resuspend samples in 50uL sample loading buffer (pipette up/down)
+
-
# Boil samples for 10 minutes
+
-
# While boiling, prepare 500mL 1x SDS buffer:
+
-
## 50mL 10x buffer to 450mL water
+
-
## Take a gel out of the fridge and and put it in the gel box (keep the gel container for staining!!!)
+
-
## Pour the mixed buffer solution into the half of the gel box that the gel is in
+
-
## Remove the gel comb
+
-
## Fill the little container on the top of the gel until it's about 0.5 cm from the top with buffer
+
-
## Remove any bubbles in the wells
+
-
# Spin down samples for a few seconds
+
-
# Vortex samples
+
-
# Load 3uL into each well
+
-
# Load 10uL of ladder in appropriate wells
+
-
# Run at 180V until the dye is about to fall off the gel
+

+
-
# Dilute 1 ul overnight into 1ml

# Add 1 mm IPTG and let grow for four hours

# After cells have grown up, place in flourophore (1 um) and allow time to bind (1 hour)
+
-
# Also place 1 ul beads in 1 ml along with 1 ul flourophore.
+
-
# Allow beads to bind to flourophore, then spin beads down, remove supernatent and replace with 1 ml water.
+
-
# Next place the cells and the beads under the microscope
