<b>Objective:</b> Ligate pLacI to sRBS-Lum-dT using the three antibiotic assembly method (according to Tom Knight's protocol). Previous ligation had miniscule quantities of DNA in ligation, not surprising it didn't work.<br> | <b>Objective:</b> Ligate pLacI to sRBS-Lum-dT using the three antibiotic assembly method (according to Tom Knight's protocol).

JV quantified the amount of DNA in gels run to date using ImageJ software. Results to be posted in working plasmids box.
Objective: Transform plasmids into DH5α
Method: Follow competent cell transformation protocol to transform the following:
From our ligations:
- pLacI-sRBS-Lumazine-dT
- pLacI-sRBS-Lumazine-dT
- mms6 (A6)
- mms6 (B6)
- xylE (C4)
- xylE (B4)
From the 2010 Parts Distribution:
- ECFP (Bba_E0020)
- EYFP (Bba_E0030)
- BglII Endonuclease (Bba_K112106)

(In Lab: JV)
Objective: Isolate plasmid DNA of RBS-xylE (BBa_J33204) from DH5α cells and confirm results.
Method: "Mini-prep" the plasmid DNA using boiling lysis miniprep. Then restrict the DNA once and run on a 1% agarose gel (TAE).
Restriction Reaction
Ingredient | Volume(µL) |
MilliQ H20 Water | 15.75 |
Orange Buffer (10x) | 2 |
pDNA (rbs-xylE) | 2 |
EcoRI | 0.25 |
Unrestricted Control
Ingredient | Volume(µL) |
MilliQ H20 Water | 16 |
Orange Buffer (10x) | 2 |
pDNA (rbs-xylE) | 2 |
DNA was restricted for 80 minutes at 37oC.
Analyzed results on a 1% agarose gel. Load order as follows:
Lane | Sample | Volume Sample (µL) | Volume Loading Dye (µL) |
1 | Restricted RBS-xylE | 10 | 2 |
1 | Unestricted RBS-xylE† | 1 | 2 |
1 | 1kb Ladder†† | 2 | 2 |
† Added 9µL MilliQ H2O
†† Added 8µL MilliQ H2O
Ran gel at 100V from 2 hours.
Results:
Conclusions: Plasmid DNA prep and restriction was successful.
Objective: Ligate rbs-xylE (Bba_J33204) to our double terminator, and insert it into the pSB1T3 plasmid backbone.
Method:
- Restrictions
- Restrict rbs-xylE wit EcoRI and SpeI (Red Buffer)
- Restrict the double terminator with XbaI and PstI (Tango Buffer)
- Restrict pSB1T3 with EcoRI and PstI (Red Buffer)
