Marcin
Task 1:
- Prepare PCR reaction to amplified p53 coding sequence.
Methods:

p53 (detailed destription is here
Results:
- Clean-up the PCR products

verification of PCR reaction and clean-up procedure
Comment:
Unfortunatelly reaction 1 (2 μl of DNA matrix) was abortive - there is no product in the gel.
Task 2:

- Both reaction were perform in the same condition:
Program:
digest:
1. 37°C - 3 hours 2. 80°C - 15 minutes 3. 4°C - hold
control digest of p53 with PvuII
Restriction pattern confirms that sequence is correct
- Purification of digested products via gel-out
Procedure:
- Fragments of agarose gel were carefully cut out and in the next step DNA was extracted from the gel using the A&A gel-out kit. Detailed procedure is described here
- Quantification of amount of p53 DNA after restriction digest:
1 μl of the digest mixture was diluted to 10 μl and loaded into the gel.

- Enzymes in all 4 mixes were inactivated through incubation at 80°C for 20 min.
- Two ligation mixes were prepared. Each contained 30µl of [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_R0080 pAraC]/ [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_R0010 placI] digestion mix, 20µl of [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_E0840 E0840] mix, 5µl of dNTPs and 2µl of ligase.
