Futher PCR on POT2 with NinaB (New Primers NO. 5)

Date: 23/8
Done by: Marie & Tommy
Methods: PCR
protocos:CP.1.1[1] Notes:
NinB2fw and NinaB2rv was used.
PCR were run programed as:

PCR	Temp. (C)	Time (min)
Start	95	2
Denaturing	95	1
Anneling	67,9	1
Elongation	72	4
End	72	5
Hold	4	indef.

PCR product from gradient PCR (d. 20/8-10), tube no. 5, was used as template.
The other tubes were pooled.

Done by: Marie & Tommy
Methods: Ligation
protocos:L1.3[6] Notes:
3 ligatons mixtures was made:
1:1 volumens 1 plasmid:5 insert 1:3 volumens 1 plasmid:15 insert 1:6 volumens 1 plasmid:30 insert

Colony PCR on ligation from 24/8

Date: 24/8
Done by: Marie & Tommy
Methods: Colony PCR
protocos:CP1.1[7] Notes:
15 colonies were picked form different plates, with differnt plasmid to insert ratio: colonie's 1,2,3,13 were picked from plates with 1:1 plasmid to insert ratio, colonie's 4,5,6 were picked from plates with 1:3 plasmid to insert ratio and colonie's 7,8,9,10,11,12,14,15 were picked from plates with 1:6 plasmid to insert ratio.
The PCR program was:

PCR	Temp. (C)	Time (min)
Start	95	2
Denaturing	95	1
Anneling	68,0	1
Elongation	72	4
End	72	5
Hold	4	indef.

A gel was run on the PCR products:
Futher experiments and PCR was run on tubes: 5,6,10,11 because they have the greatest yeild.

Restriction Digest

Date: 24/8
Done by: Marie & Tommy
Methods: Restriction Digest
protocos:RD1.1[8] Notes:
Restriction digest was performed on tubes 5,6,10 and 11 to test for insertion of ninaB (Correct orientation) XbaI and SPEI was used and a gel was run:

Colony PCR on ligation from 24/8 (colonies 5,6,10 and 11 + new colonies)

Date: 24/8
Done by: Marie & Tommy
Methods: Colony PCR
protocos:CP1.1[9] Notes:
8 new colonies (16-23) were chosen in addition to colonies 5,6,10 and 11 form 25I8-10 colonie PCR.
PCR were run with TAQ polymerase and VF2 + VR primers according to the following program:

PCR	Temp. (C)	Time (min)
Start	94	2
Denaturing	94	1
Anneling	55,0	0.5
Elongation	72	2
End	72	5
Hold	4	indef.

A gel was run on the products:
==== PCR on NinaB with old primers (NinaBfw and NinaBrv) ==== Date: 27/8
Done by: Marie & Tommy
Methods: PCR
protocos:CP1.1[https://2010.igem.org/Team:SDU-Denmark/protocols#CP1.1] Notes:
PCR was run on NinaB (from PCR with NinaBfw and NinaBrv), this time with the old primers (NinaBfw and NinaBrv) in an attempt to add the E and P restriction sites to the NinaB fracment.
The PCR program was set to:

PCR	Temp. (C)	Time (min)
Start	95	2
Denaturing	95	1
Anneling	55,0	0.75
Elongation	72	2
Denaturing	94	1
Anneling	73,0	0.75
Elongation	72	2
End	72	5
Hold	4	indef.

NinaB From second new primer PCR (23/8, purifid 24/8) was used as templated.
