113. Expt: Biobrick assembly of fluorescent proteins (YFP, CFP, RFP) into PP+pBAD+pSB1C3 and pBAD+pSB1C3 (Emily and Bill)

  • Miniprepped overnight cultures of YFP, CFP, RFP with rbs's and PP+pBAD+pSB1C3
  • Nanodrop readings:
Nanodrop reading (ng/µl)
Cm+PP+pBAD+pSB1C3 48.5
YFP+rbs 74.8
RFP+rbs 32.9
CFP+rbs 46.7

pSB1C3 from freezer was used at 12.9ng/µl

  • Restrict using protocol on p88, using following quantities:
Cm+PP+pSB1C3 YFP (for PP) YFP (for pBAD) RFP (for PP) RFP (for pBAD) CFP (for PP) CFP (for pBAD) pSB1C3
Nuclease-free H20 1 6 6 1 1 6 6 1
10x FD Buffer 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2
Plasmid DNA 15 10 10 15 15 10 10 16
EcoRI 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1
SpeI 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 0
XbaI 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0
PstI 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
* * * *
  • We ran this gel on an E-gel and realised that those lanes with '*' had been cut with the wrong enzymes - PP+pSB1C3 should have been cut with S+P, the RFPs should have been cut with X+P.
  • We carried on with those that had worked with just pBAD.

See continuation below.

114. Expt: Plate reader readings for Arabinose induction for LCLuc+PPLuc under pBAD

Arabinose concentration varying from 0µM to 10mM

  • 1. 0µM: 0Ara/30µl of H20
  • 2. 1µM: 1µl of Ara@100µM/29µl of H20
  • 3. 3µM: 3µl of Ara@100µM/27µl of H20
  • 4. 10µM: 10µl of Ara@100µM/20µl of H20
  • 5. 30µM: 30µl of Ara@100µM/no H20
  • 6. 100µM: 1µl of Ara@10mM/29µl of H20
  • 7. 300µM: 3µl of Ara@10mM/27µl of H20
  • 8. 1mM: 10µl of Ara@10mM/20µl of H20
  • 9. 3mM: 30µl of Ara@10mM/no H20
  • 10. 10mM: 1µl of Ara@1M/29µl of H20
  • 11. No luciferin, 100µM Ara => 1µl of 10mM, 30.5 of H20

D-luciferin at 100µM -> 15µl.

Total volume 100µl per well. 60.5µl of overnight culture
