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).
- The aim of today's experiment is to screen for the lacI insert. This could be done using PCR but that would require specific primers and is not as reliable.
Protocol
- Miniprep - the miniprep protocol was followed.
- Restriction digests - the restriction digest protocol was followed.
- Single digest with Pst1
- double digests with Pst1 and Xba1
- Gel electrophoresis
Set up liquid broth culture in 5 ml of LB - 1 colony from colonies 1-7
