Alkane degradation

Yesterday's digestions showed that BioBrick 007 was not the expected length. From this it was concluded that the plasmid thus does not contain the desired insert, so we will make the BioBrick again. This was done, starting with a digestion. An extra cut was done in the backbone of alkB2 to decrease the chances of religation.

# Sample Enzyme 1 Enzyme 2 Enzyme 3 Buffer BSA Needed fragment
1 J61100 SpeI PstI 2 (Biolabs) ‘S – pSB1A2 - J61100– P’
2 1 μg alkB2 XbaI PstI AseI 2 (Biolabs) ‘X – alkB2 – P’

The digestions were done during 2 hours, and checked on a gel:

# Description Expected Length (bp) Status
0 Smartladder (5μl)
1 ‘S – pSB1A2 - J61100 – P’ 2116
2 undigested pSB1A2-J61100
3 ‘X – alkB2 – P’ 1263
4 Undigested alkB2

Directly following the digestion, the products were ligated for 4 hours:

# BioBrick Fragment 1 Fragment 2
1 pSB1A2-J61100-alkB2 ‘X – alkB2 – P’ ‘S – pSB1A2-J61100 – P’

10 μL of the ligation mix was used to transform Top10 competent cells.
