Product is of right size. Small amount of by-product (two bands) so annealing temp might be increaed a bit if another PCR is necessary. The used primers have a 5’-ApaI site for circularization. The product was cleaned (BIOKE Nucleospin Extract II kit, great yield), cut with ApaI, cleaned again, ligated to circularize the plasmid, and transformed to coli. Sadly, no transformants. The ligation was repeated, this time with more plasmid. No transformants… getting tired of this. Next week try blunt end ligation of PCR product.
