Results: For the ligation into pSB1C3, colonies B, F and H showed bands at the right length. For the other reatcion (in pSB1AK3), colonies A to D showed bands with the correct length. The colonies with bands at the right length will be miniprepped and sent for sequencing.
Control restriction digest of cPCR product of PS in pSB1C3 and pSB1AK3
Date: 09/12
Done by: LC & Maria
Methods: Restriction digest
Protocols: RD1.1[2]
Notes:
The afore mentioned samples (B, F and H of PS in pSB1C3 and A and D in pSB1AK3) were cut with EcoRI and PstI to see if it was 1) possible to cut them at all, thereby confirming the presence of biobrick prefix and suffix and 2) determining if the insert in the plasmid has the right length.
Mix for 1 RD reaction:
12 ul H2O
1 ul PstI
1 ul EcoRI
2 ul Fast digest green buffer
5 ul PCR product
Uncut PCR product and RFP were also loaded on the gel as a control.
Results: All samples pSB1C3 samples were cut as expected (to around 2000 BP), but the restriction digest of pSB1AK3 sample A and D failed, so that one will have to be repeated with sample B and C, as these only showed a cut double terminator without the PS insert.
Second control restriction digest of cPCR product of PS pSB1AK3
Date: 09/12
Done by: LC & Maria
Methods: Restriction digest
Protocols: RD1.1[3]
Since samples A and D fromt he colony PCR gave inadequate results when cut with EcoRI and PstI, we had to repeat the restriction digest with the remaining two samples that were the right length on the cPCR, sample B and C. Samples E, F and G were also cut to confirm that there were no errors in naming the samples that resulted in sample A and D not giving the expected results.
Restriction mixture:
72 ul H2O
6 ul PstI
6 ul EcoRI
12 ul Fast digest green buffer
5 ul PCR product per sample (x6)
Uncut PCR product was loaded on the gel as a control.
Results: Only sample C showed bands at the correct length (around 2180 BP), where as all other bands were at the length of a double terminator (b0015) without the photosensor insert. All samples were properly cut indicating the presence of biobrick pre- and suffix in these. Sample C will be miniprepped and sent off to sequencing.
Second round of colony PCR on PS ligated into pSB1AK3 (containing double terminator
Date: 09/12
Done by: LC & Maria
Methods: Colony PCR
Protocols: CP1.3[4]
Notes:
Since only sample C from the previous colony PCR looked right after a restriction digest we decided to run another round of colony PCR on the photosensor ligated into pSB1AK3, to find more colonys containing the right (ligated!) plamid.
The original samples A - D were also used as a template, now called I, J, K and L. Sample M to Y were new colonies.
Premix:
42,5 µl 10xTAQ Buffer
17 µl MgCl2
17 µl VF2
17 µl VR
8,5 µl dNTP
59,5 µl H2O
2,125 µl TAQ Polymerase
The chosen colonies were lysed in 15 ul of H20.

Results: Samples K (former C) and Q produced bands at the right length of around 2150 BP, which eans that sample Q will also be miniprepped and send to sequencing together with the previously chosen sample C (now K).
Miniprep and controle digestion of PS in pSB1C3 and pSB1AK3
Date: 9/13 2010
Done By: Maria and Lc
Protocol:MP1.2RD1.1
Notes:
Coloni B, F and H of PS in pSB1C3 and coloni C of PS + double terminator in pSB1AK3 was miniprep'ed according to prtocol. To ensure that the plasmids contains the insert as expected, the miniprep is cut with EcoRI and PstI.
the 2 minipreps of each coloni are diluted in 20uL and 50uL respectively.
Restriction mixture x4:
H2O | 48uL |
FD green buffer | 8uL |

Analysis:
In the lanes containing the digested pSB1C3 plasmids bands at app. 2000bp are observed corresponding to PS. The lane containing digested pSB1AK3 plasmids shows a band at app. 2100bp corresponding to the size of PS and the double terminator. Miniprep of coloni B, F and C are sent to sequentation.

Miniprep of PS+B0015 sample Q and pSB3T5 containing J13002
Date: 27/7
Methods: ON, Miniprep
Protocol: MP1.1
Experiment done by: LC & Maria
Notes: PS+B0015 sample Q (1) was eluded in 20 ul to get a concentration over 200 ng/ul, so we would directly be able to send it in for sequencing. All other samples were eluded in 50 ul of elution buffer.
Results: The concentrations were as followed:
PS+B0015 (1): 180 ng/ul
PS+B0015 (2): 130 ng/ul
pSB3T5+J13002 (1 and 2): 50 ng/ul
Sample Q did not fulfill DNA technologies sample specifications for sequencing we waited with sending it in, since we were expecting the results from sample C which was sent in earlier. Since those returned positive, sample Q was never sent in, since we just proceeded with sample C.
