Hydrophobofilm
pushing coatings into a greener future
We've started working on the wiki, been preparing plasmids and are settling in our office space. Note to self: should have brought coffee machine
Week 22
The biobrick prefix and suffix are introduced into the pNZ8901 expression vector using PCR and primers with 5’ overhangs.
For optimization taq polymerase (fermentas) is used first
Component µl Final concentration
Primer pNZ89bbs-for1 5 300nM
Primer pNZ89bbs-rev1 5 300nM
10x Taq buffer(-MgCl2) 5 1x
dNTP’s 2 200µM
MgCl2 3 1.5mM
Template 0.5 ~14ng
Taq 0.5 2.5u
MQ 29
- 94°C, 3’ - 94°C, 30’’ 30X - 50°C, 30’’ - 72°C, 1’30’’ - 72°C, 10’
No product. Likely the elongation step was too short for taq.
Repeat of previous PCR using the following cycling conditions
- 94°C, 3’ - 94°C, 30’’ 30X - 50°C, 30’’ - 72°C, 3’ - 72°C, 10’
Gel 02-06-10
Product is ~4kb instead of 3,2. This has been observed before and plasmid is ok to use. Repeated PCR with pfu polymerase (fermentas) to prevent point mutations in plasmid
