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, 4oC, at 5000RPM
- Cell pellet weight is 3.03g
- Flash froze cells and stored at -80oC
Plasmid DNA was also isolated using QIAGEN spin column protocol. DNA was eluted to 60µL.
