JV

Objective: Separate different fractions of the cytosol of cells containing catechol 2,3-dioxygenase
Method:

• Grow DH5α cells in 500mL of LB media with Amp⁺.
• Optical density of cell suspension (measured at 600nm): 4.55
• Spun cells down: 10 minutes, 4^oC, at 5000RPM
• Cell pellet weight is 3.03g
• Flash froze cells and stored at -80^oC
  

Plasmid DNA was also isolated using QIAGEN spin column protocol. DNA was eluted to 60µL.
