LacI BioBrick Construction
Aims
- To use PCR to extract lacI (promoter, ribosome-binding site (RBS) & coding sequence (CDS)) from plasmid pMutin4 and ligate into vector pSB1AT3 in front of red fluorescent protein (RFP).
- To see whether the LacI insert is in the pSB1AT3 plasmid (same as yesterday).
Materials and Protocol
- Performed a gel electrophoresis with remaining PCR products + Controls with same restriction digests.
Transformation
- E. coli DH5alpha was transformed again with our plasmid. The transformation protocol was followed.
Miniprep
- For this step the Qiagen Minipreps protocol was followed. The 7 colonies that grew on the plates from yesterday were cultured ovenight on a shaking shelf at 37°C in universal tubes.
Restriction digests
- The restriction digest protocol was followed for this step.
