JV

Objective: Separate different fractions of the cytosol of cells containing catechol 2,3-dioxygenase
Method:

  • Grow DH5α cells in 500mL of LB media with Amp+.
  • Optical density of cell suspension (measured at 600nm): 4.55
  • Spun cells down: 10 minutes, 4oC, at 5000RPM
  • Cell pellet weight is 3.03g
  • Flash froze cells and stored at -80oC

Plasmid DNA was also isolated using QIAGEN spin column protocol. DNA was eluted to 60µL.
