Removal of insertion in BioBrick suffixes

Plasmid prep

From 8/10 stored pellet

• 50 μl elution buffer.

DNA concentration
Sample	Conc [ng/μl]	A260/A280
pSB1C3.SOD	163.1	1.94

Digestion

	pSB1C3. SOD
10X FastDigest buffer	2
DNA (1 μg)	12.3
dH2O	3.7
FD EcoRI	1
FD SpeI	1
	20 μl

• Incubation: 37 °C, 30 min

Gel verification

1 % agarose, 140 V

Expected bands

• Vector: 2175 bp
• Insert: 495 bp

Results
Band slightly larger than expected, but this may also be due to bound restriction enzymes and/or other disturbances. Proceeded to gel extraction.

Gel extraction

Digested pSB1C3.SOD separated on 1 % agarose gel at 110 V, 17 μl sample volume. SOD band extracted and DNA, as well as DNA from samples stored in -20 °C 7/10, were purified using the E.Z.N.A. Gel Extraction kit.

DNA measurements extremely low, but proceeded to ligation/cloning anyway.
