  • <partinfo>K331023</partinfo>
  • <partinfo>K331024</partinfo>
  • <partinfo>K331025</partinfo>

Method: Use Qiagen miniprep method with BioBasic EZ-10 Spin columns.

Objective: Create 20 new biobricks using recently arrived synthesized DNA and terminator <partinfo>B0015</partinfo>, pLac <partinfo>R0010</partinfo>, and pTet <partinfo>R0040</partinfo> to create the following new biobricks:

  • 1)R0010 + K331022 to obtain <partinfo>K331026</partinfo>
  • 2)R0040 + K331022 to obtain <partinfo>K331030</partinfo>
  • 3)K331022 + B0015 to obtain <partinfo>K331034</partinfo>
  • 4)K331022 + K331024 to obtain (NAME BIOBRICK!!!!)

ADS

Objective: Purify plasmid DNA from successfully assembled biobricks.
Method: Use Qiagen miniprep method with BioBasic EZ-10 columns.
Will send these minipreps for sequencing at Macrogen.

JV

Objective: Separate different fractions of the cytosol of cells containing catechol 2,3-dioxygenase
Method:

  • Grow DH5α cells in 500mL of LB media with Amp+.
  • Optical density of cell suspension (measured at 600nm): 4.55
  • Spun cells down: 10 minutes, 4oC, at 5000RPM
  • Cell pellet weight is 3.03g
  • Flash froze cells and stored at -80oC

Plasmid DNA was also isolated using QIAGEN spin column protocol. DNA was eluted to 60µL.
