Chris's gel of the restriction digest of all old CpxP and ibpAB stuff. Lane 10 and Lane 4 show possible cuts but all other lanes show nothing. Lane 10 is ibpAB and Lane 4 is CpxP3 but those two tubes have no more DNA and must be redone.

Who doesn't love weekends?

Today, I ran a gel of the restriction digest of all the CpxP and ibpAB stuff from yesterday which was done with NEB enzymes. The gel results can be seen on the right. ibpAB1 (Lane 10) showed digestion at about the right size, but there was no more in the tube to construct with. As a result, overnight cultures were made of it. Another digest was set up of all the CpxP and ibpAB stuff that was ligated into Biobrick plasmids and a positive control of a Lux circuit from last year was also digested to affirm the enzyme activity. Finally, I helped Emily set up her multi-salt concentration PCR of MalE once again.
