Restriction digest of miniprepped Bgl-LovTWO/pGEM ligation

Expect 1079bp band (construct) and ~3kb band (pGEM)

50ul total volume (x3)

  • 5ul NEB buffer 3 (10x)
  • 2ul miniprep DNA
  • 0.5ul 100x BSA
  • 1ul BglII
  • 41.5ul dH2O

This digest should show we have functioning BglII sites.

^The above reaction was not carried out as we ran out of BglII enzyme

50ul total volume (x3)

  • 5ul NEB buffer 3 (10x)
  • 2ul miniprep DNA
  • 0.5ul 100x BSA
  • 1ul EcoRI
  • 41.5ul dH2O

This digest should show we have inserted properly into pGEM

Nanodrop data of miniprep DNA (Bgl/Lovtwo/pGEM ligation)

  • Tube A - 371.1ng/ul
  • Tube B - 358.6ng/ul
  • Tube C - 346.7ng/ul

Overnight culture

Started overnight of XL1 containing J04421 (lacI reporter). 5mL of LB amp. Will look for constitutive CFP production.
