PCR verification for Uppsala-Sweden team
Helping the Uppsala team with a PCR verification of one of their assemblies.
Summed up their total construct length in pSB1x3 to 6566 bp.
- K1: C2 & C4 (x2)
- K2: C2 & C5 (x2)
Standard colony PCR settings:
- Elongation time: 10 min
- Annealing temp: 55 °C and 60 °C
PCR run ON.

Polyacrylamide gel on SOD
I ran a polyacrylamide gel on SOD that I have tried to get pure.
Ladder: PageRuler Unst. Protein Ladder Fermentas
Arragement on gel:
I had a Coomassie blue staning and destaining on the gel.
Protein concentration
I measured the protein conc on the samples: unbound, wash 1-3, elute 1-4 and not pure to check if I had any proteins. I had to test this since the gel shows that I don't have any proteins, even not much in the unbound lane, which should have a lot of bands. It could also be that my samples that I loaded onto the gel was very diluted since I had fractions consisting of 10 ml solution. This could give me an indication wheter I need to concentrate my fractions with a Millipore centrifugation.
I measured the concentrations using a BSA-method.
I got a standard curve from another student (Annika) in the lab I work in.
The standard curve was obtained by following this:
I measured the conc by following these instructions:
I got these absorbance values for each well I loaded:
Samples from top to bottom: unbound, wash 1-3, elute 1-4.
From the standard curve I can calculate the protein concentration:
A = 0.3617 * C + 0.0778
C = (A-0.0778)/0.3617
However I realized that the blank I used did not have any imidazole added, this is therefore not a good control for the elute samples since they contain a high amount of imidazole.
The imidazole molecule contains structures that can absorbe light and therefore the value of the elute samples might only indicate the imidazole and not the protein conc in the sample.
Colony PCR
I PCR screened 16 colonies/dish of Protein A_LMWP_N, Protein A_TAT_N, Protein A_Tra10_N, Fusion_CPP1, Fusion_TAT_C & Fusion_CPP3.
The PCR protocol was according to previous ones where I added 25 ul PCR mix/PCR tube.
Elongation time for Protein A samples: 45 sec and for Fusion samples 2 min.
