Jasper found that he had forgotten to take the difference in volume between the cells and the solution into account yesterday (in the equation relating the concentration of As(III) in the cell with the concentration outside the cell). He redid the computations (solving the equation for As(III) in th cell and plotting it against the concentration in the solution for different values of K and V<sub>max</sub> for ArsB), but this made no qualitative difference (it just caused a scaling of the graphs). (And he determined that apparently [[Team:Groningen/Literature#Kostal2004|Kostal2004]] used almost the exact same concentration of cells as [[Team:Groningen/Literature#Meng2004|Meng2004]], so the results should be relatively interchangeable.)

Also, Jasper found and fixed some errors in the reaction rates on the modelling page and ploughed through some papers to look for more data we could try to use/reproduce for/with our models (so far none was found, as we don't incorporate growth into our models at all and because a lot of data does not have very useful/clear units for our purposes).

It's my birthday!!! (Michael)

So cake it is....

Wet

GVP Cluster

DONE buy a nice cake and eat it ;)
TODO isolate plasmids from overnight precultures
DONE perform a ligation between cut vector and GVP fragment
DONE transform E.coli TOP10 competent cells with ligation product

Ligation

  • 2 uL Ligase buffer
  • 1 ul T4 Ligase
  • 8 uL plasmid pSB1AC3 digested with PstI and SpeI
  • 4 uL insert GVP restricted with XbaI and PstI

Incubate:

  • 25°C 30min.
  • kept on ice for 10min.

Tranformation

  • add 10uL of the pSB1AC3-GVP ligation product to 50uL competent E.coli TOP10 cells.

Incubate:

  • 30 min @ ice
  • 50 sec 42°C
  • 2 min @ ice
  • add 800uL LB-medium
  • incubate for 1 h at 37°C
  • plate on LB-amp50 plates
