Today I miniprepped the I0500-B0034 construct from yesterday. One of the constructs gave good concentration and good values for protein and RNA contamination. I also restriction disgested the constructs using EcoRI and PstI. These restriction digests were also ran on 1% agarose gel for 45 minutes at 85 volts.

The bands on the gel match our expectation. The insert that was cut using the restriction enzymes was about 1200 bp which means that the I0500 got inserted into the plasmid.

Today, I did Plasmid preparations of the CpxP promoter in both ampicillin-kanamycin and ampicillin-chloramphenicol plasmids. The colony PCR from both of the CpxP promoters was finished overnight and a gel will be run tomorrow on it. As well, I continued to contact different companies like IDT DNA and Abbott International, Generex, AVAC, and Astra Zeneca. We had a meeting in the afternoon where we presented our progress to Dr. Schryvers and Dr. Logan. They gave troubleshooting suggestions for the various wetlab projects we have going on.

Raida:

Objective: PCR out native MalE/ MalE 31 protein out of E.coli Purpose: Testing Mal E/ Mal E31 primers to get 1188 bp long gene of interest. Primers that are used are gene specific and anneals right on the start of the Mal E gene.

Jeremy and I managed to settle down on a few aspects of the wiki's main page and general layout of other pages. Hopefully, they will be uploaded soon. I also continued to look into high- and low-copy plasmids.
