Nina

Continuation of protein purification

I got help with the plugged drop column and got the fractions I needed of the lysis, wash and elution buffers.

These samples of 0.5 ml were stored in a freezer for running on an SDS gel.

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.

Ligation

	pSB1C3. IgGp	pSB1C3. bGFG	pSB1C3. ProtA	pSB1C3. yCCS	pSB1C3. SOD
10X T4 Ligase buffer	2	2	2	2	2
Vector DNA	3	3	3	3	3
Insert DNA	14	14	14	14	14
dH2O	0	0	0	0	0
T4 DNA ligase	1	1	1	1	1
	20 μl	20 μl	20 μl	20 μl	20 μl

• Incubation: 22 °C, 15 min

Transformation

• Mod. quick transformation
  • Top10
  • 3 μl ligation mix
  • 30 min incubation on ice
