Protocols

A list of all protocols developed during the project. To add one, use the section below.

Amplification of DNA

  • Polymerase Chain Reaction : A method for amplifying a section of DNA.
  • Colony PCR : PCR with cells as a template. Useful for checking the length of an insert in an introduced plasmid.

Analysis of DNA

Preparation of DNA Constructs

  • Primer Design : Some general guidelines on how to design successful primers.
  • Gibson Assembly : An extremely powerful technique for joining multiple, arbitrary DNA sequences in one step, compatible with standard assembly.

Transformation of Bacterial Cells

Bacterial Cultures

Extraction of DNA from Cells

Microscopy

Protein Extraction

  • Buffer Preparation : Methods to prepare the various buffers used to purify his-tagged reflectin from inclusion bodies in E. coli.
  • Inclusion Body Prep : A method to solubilise recombinant reflectin when it has been expressed in inclusion bodies in E. coli.
  • His-Trap Protein Purification : A method to purify reflectin from E. coli lysate using a his-trap column.

Protein Purification

Thin Film Preparation

Gel Electrophoresis by SDS PAGE
