As summer project our experimental work began in August, after intensive brainstorming we finnaly decide

between two options.


*Inmunoresponse using Synthetic Biology.

*Cryobiology applied to plant crops.

After a selection process we chose the Cryobiology Project.

The final design of the expressions modules were as follow:

The AFP (Antifreeze Protein) was synthesized as follow:

Week #1

06th September - 10th September 2010

Monday

First step: Transform using only the vector to get enough material.

  • We got plasmid PSB1C3 from the Biobrick plate.
  • We prepared stock solutions of Cloramphenicol, Kanamicyn, Ampicilin.
  • Some LB agar and 35ug/ml cloramphenicol plates made up .
  • We completed the procedure to make quimio and electro-competent cells.
  • We transformed on E. coli cells strain DH5ALFA with the plasmid.

Tuesday

Finished competent cells and stored in aliquots in containers vials at -80 degrees.

We transformed DH5α cells with Psb1C3.

Wednesday

We have not obtained transformats cells.

We checked out the Cloramphenicol

dose and attempt again the transformation using Psb1C3.

Thursday

The primers arrived

and we proceed to amplify the modules by PCR.

The amplification was ok and to quantify DNA concentrations

we had looking for a nano spectrophotometer.
