  • 356K and 356R look fine
  • going to run S284T at a higher ** temp tomorrow to see if it works better
  • all PCR tubes stored in freezer

Redo PCR of Red Luciferase

  • Everything except template DNA + Kod polymerase kept on ice
  • Ran PCR
  • Template DNA used PyeaR and P. pyralis luciferase BBa_K216015
  • Purification done for 356K and 356R; stored in iGEM box (-20C).
