Amplification of the plasmid PSB1C3 for rocF BioBrick
Aim
The aim of this experiment is to amplify plasmid linearized pSB1C3 for the construction of rocF BioBrick with the help of a single Phusion PCR using old primers.
Materials and Protocol
Please refer to PCR for Phusion PCR protocol. The details for the single PCR reaction is mentioned below:
PCR
| Tube | Part to be amplified | DNA fragment consisting the part | Forward primer | Reverse Primer | Melting Temperature (Tm in °C) | Size of the fragment (in bp) | Extension time* (in seconds) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Plasmid Vector | pSB1C3 | P1V1 forward | P2V1 reverse | 58 | 2072 approx. | 65 |
Table 1: Table represents a single Phusion PCR reaction where plasmid pSB1C3 is amplified so that it can be ligated together with other rocF fragments with the help of Gibson Cloning method.
- The extension rate of the Phusion polymerase is 1Kb/ 30 seconds. Thus the extension time of each and every PCR reaction is slightly different.
- For learning about the rocF fragments, please refer to the Cloning strategy for rocF.
Discussion
The Phusion PCR reaction was done however, gel electrophoresis and gel extraction will take place today to check whether the fragments have actually amplified or not.
Conclusion
Tomorrow 5th August, 2010, we would be running gel electrophoresis to check the outcome of the 6 PCR reactions and later all the fragments will be ligated with help of Gibson protocol.
