===Week 2===
 
-
 
-
====PCR====
 
-
 
-
*Primers finally arrived. Did PCR to amplify carrier genes.
 
-
 
-
*PCR worked. PCR products (3 candidate proteins)ligated onto biobrick backbones pSB1A3 and pSB1A2 (contains RBS BBa_J61100).
 
-
 
-
*The plasmid backbones with the genes of interest inserted into them were used to transform the XL1-BLUE E.coli strain (although not competent enough compared to NovaBlue cells they are much cheaper!!)
 
-
 
-
*Most transformations are successful. Used transformed colonies to prepare liquid cultures so that we can proceed with minipreping them.
 
-
 
-
====In frame protein fusions====
 
-
 
-
*Started working on finding an easy assembly method for in-line protein fusions.
 
-
 
-
*Developed the design for a Bioscaffold-Linker transformer family (inspired by Bioscaffolds). Should allow fusions of proteins and all RFC10 biobricks in-frame after using Bioscaffold specific restriction enzymes.
 
-
 
-
*Prepared different versions of this Bioscaffold to be ordered and tested in the lab for actual functionality.
