pushing coatings into a greener future

A mix of the ChpE and ChpH genes were ligated into the pNZ8901-bbs backbone and a restriction check was performed on 8 clones. ChpE contains a DpnI site whereas ChpH does not. A restriction with DpnI and XhoI should yield a 487bp and 176bp fragment for ChpE and just a 648bp fragment for ChpH (+ a ~3500bp backbone fragment for both).
- 10ul plasmid - 1.5ul buffer R - 0.5ul DpnI - 0.5ul XhoI - 2.5ul MQ
Clones 2, 4, 6, and 7 contain ChpE, and 1, 3, 5, and 8 contain ChpH.
These ligations are performed with the backbone that still contains unwanted IS element with the PstI site. At the same time we are attempting to delete this element using a related backbone.
