Monday 7/26

  • Started PCR reaction to extract the HSP (K112400) from its Berkeley Standard backbone (BBb). (Used same PCR parameters as CPCR from 7/22.
  • Group meeting!
    • By next week: Need to design test-construct experiments, as they will be ready sometime early next week.
      • Can use PCR machine to achieve easy temperature gradients
      • Use spectrophotometer and eventually microscope to assay fluorescence.
      • Consider a plate assay?
    • AIBN issues:
      • Consider using low-concentration DMSO to help dissolve AIBN in LB/cell mixture.
      • Need to figure out how much unreacted (or otherwise) AIBN remains after mixing with cells.
      • Need to test crosslinking using hydrolyzed and epoxidized oil mixed with lysate and with cells to tweak concentration of AIBN needed, and to see what it makes.
    • TGase:
      • purchase urea?
      • To prevent a solid plug forming upon addition of TGase powder to sample, prepare liquid stock of concentrated TGase.
    • Wiki:
      • Should visit biofab.org for research material for human impact segment.
    • In general, we should set goals for both the end of SURF and for the end of the summer and determine what we need to do to get on track for them.
      • Printing in 2D
      • Working AND gate, at least in bulk fluid
      • Characterization of 3D hydrogel/plastic
      • Crosslinking data
  • PCR purified K112400 PCR product & digested as plasmid insert.
  • Transformed RFP bricks of verious resistances to use as backbone for future ligations
  • Ran 2 gels of today's CPCR products:

Tuesday 7/27

Wednesday 7/28

Thursday 7/29

Friday 7/30

Weekend 7/31-8/1
