Today, I ran a 1% agarose gel electrophoresis of my PCR from yesterday. The PCR was done with Ssdeleted forward primer and reverse primer on malE31 template and also malE31 without the signal sequence and MalE as a positive control. The results were positive for malE31delSS and also MalE. So Emily PCR purified the PCR product. The next step will be doing restriction digests and also cloning into a TOPO vector.

Then I biobricked the pRFP using a gradient PCR with an annealing temperature of 55 degrees to 73 with 8 tubes in a 12 well gradient placed evenly. The PCRs that are run include 1.0 mM of MgCl2, 1.5 mM of MgCl2 (regular), 2.0 mM of MgCl2 using the new biobrick primers with NotI and XbaI forward sites and SpeI and NotI reverse sites.

Today, I did 21 plasmid preparations of a variety of different parts including p31δSS, CpxP, MalE, MalE31 and I0500-I13504. The concentrations are available upon request. As well, I ran a 1.0% agarose gel electrophoresis of the colony PCR of 16 different CpxP colonies. The picture of the gel can be seen on the right.
