LOVTAP plasmid AND TrpR plasmid were transformed in competent E. Coli following received protocol, and grown overnight (see Lab book for more details).
One problem: we actually don't know TrpR plasmid resistance, so we tried with three resistances available in the lab: Amp., Kana. and Chl.
LOVTAP is in a plasmid called pCal-n (see picture below):
Some comments on the plasmid:
-CBP is a small peptide with which we could purify LOVTAP protein
-Thrombin target is a nucleotidic sequence that can be recognized by thrombin a peptidase. This peptidase will cut CBP once LOVTAP is purified
