DNA electrophoresis

Lane 1: Fermentas FastRuler™ High Range DNA Ladder ([http://www.fermentas.com/templates/files/tiny_mce/coa_pdf/coa_sm1123.pdf link]), 3: bFGF vector before site-directed mutagenesis PCR and Dpn I treatment (low concentration; 10 ng/µl), 5: bFGF vector after site-directed mutagenesis PCR and Dpn I treatment.

The vector (bFGF-pGEX) shows the correct size of ~5,5k bp. Comparison between lane 3 & 5 also shows that the amplification in the PCR worked and that Dpn I treatment did not cause problems.

Transformation

PCR creates linear DNA, to make the vector circular it has to be transformed; the E. coli makes it circular.

Notes on protocol:

Step 1. Two tubes Bl21 tubes with competent cells were used, one for the linear mutagenesis DNA vector, and one for commercial plasmid as a positive control.

Step 2. 1 µl was used for both transformations.

Step 3. LB was used instead of SOC.

Step 9. No dilutions was made

Step 10. 50 µl was plated. Two plates was used for each reaction, one commercial carbenicillin plate and one of our ampicillin plate (to examine the state of our plates).

Colony PCR

A colony PCR was performed with tubes from Andreas.

Clonings

Colony verifications

Continued from 13/7

Restreaks

White colonies for all streaked/picked constructs except:

• pSB1K3.SOD (a)
• pSB1C3.SOD (b)
• pSB1K3.BBa_J18931 (a)
• pSB1A3.BBa_J18931 (b)
• pSB1C3.yCCS (a)

Gel verifications

pEX.X constructs picked and amplified 13/7 were separated on a 1 % gel. No good results, gel results discarded. New gel to be run tomorrow.

BL21 ON cultures

Continued from 13/7

BL21 ON cultures of pEX.BBa_J18930-32 were used to inoculate cultures for IPTG induction:

• 80 ml LB
• 1 % glucose
• 100 μg/ml Amp
• 0.8 ml ON culture

Culture grown in 37°C, 250 rpm until an OD₆₀₀ of ≈0.5.
