Isolation and verification of pSB1AC3 and pSB1AK3
The iGEM lab team members worked together today to help eachother perfect the method of plasmid isolation. Plasmids psB1AC3 and psB1AK3 were isolated using Sigma GenElute Plasmid Mini-prep kit, and the concentration and purity of plasmid was measured using the NanoDrop Spectrophotometer. See Emily’s notebook for today (above) for results.
In order to verify that these vectors only had the death gene ccdB (675bp) in them, RD was set up with combinations of the following restriction enzymes: EcoRI, XbaI, PstI, NotI and SpeI. A gel was run with these products, as well as products from a RD set up with various genes of interest in their respective TOPO vectors (all cut with EcoRI).

Working with the Listen Event
Everything has to be added into chat so answers to questions are entered into the chat window, which I do not really like since mistakes are easy to make and I also keep communicating with a black board that uses one of the channels I am using as well.
Learned about the listen event:
- Uses channels and messages and keeps track of a avatar’s id so this will be very useful for: Giving out inventory, dividing messages up
Cylce of the PCR are complete now and an amplified piece of DNA, which is rezzed beside it and can be taken into the avatar’s inventory to be used for something else later on like running a gel.

Plasmid Purification/isolation and verification of pSB1AC3
Plasmid Isolation
To isoloate pSB1AC3 plasmid from TOP10 cells, a miniprep on them was done using Sigma's GenElute plasmid Miniprep Kit (sigma). pSB1AC3 plasmids are needed for potential plasmid switches.
Table 1. Purity and concentration of pSB1AC3 measured with Nanodrop utility and Spectrophotometer
| Plasmid | 260/280 | 260/230 | Concentration [ng/μL]
|
| pSB1AC3 C3 | 2.05 | 2.42 | 134.4
|
| pSB1AC3 C4 | 1.95 | 2.23 | 55.6
|
Restriction Digest
To verify if the biobrick restriction sites are present in pSB1AC3, restrition digest was done using all the different combinations of enzymes:
NotI, EcorI+SpeI, XbaI+PstI, EcorI+PstI and XbaI+SpeI
