Week 8: July 3-10, 2011

  • Designed and ordered primers with BioBrick prefix and suffix overhangs to PCR amplify following constructs
    • RiAFP-His
    • eGFP-TEV-RiAFP-His
    • eGFP-TmAFP-His
    • eGFP-TEV-TmAFP-His
    • TmAFP-His
  • Set up PCR amplification with Phusion polymerase of aforementioned constructs, verified successful amplification: (show figure)
  • Digest PCR fragments using XbaI and PstI, digest BioBrick BBa_I712074 (contains T7 polymerase) with SpeI and PstI
  • Ligate using T4 ligase, transform cells and plate on Amp plates (backbone of plasmid is AmpR and KanR)
  • Verification of successful ligation using colony PCR
