Restriction Enzyme Test II

The sensor group digested the K3 vector with the following restriction digests:

EcoRI
EcoRI XbaI
SpeI PstI
EcoRI PstI
XbaI SpeI

These digests were run on an agarose gel. The bands on the gel showed that the restriction enzymes were working.

Radiation Sensor Construct, Day 1

The sensor group continued to assemble their test construct by placing a constitutive promoter in front of two RBS + cI repressor. The sensor group also attempted to place the OR site in front of the test construct pieces (K648000+K648001) and in front of an RBS and reporter. The sensor group tried to clone Cro into K3 and put an RBS in front of the cI repressor.

Sequence Assemblies from 6/22

     The plasmids transformed into Escherichia coli cells, which were grown in culture on 6/23, were extracted following the Omega Bio-Tek miniprep protocol. The plasmids were sent to the sequencing center to see if the assemblies worked.

The sensor group also tested their assembly of the OR + K648000 parts through gel electrophoresis. Colony B of this construct was cultured.

Saturday, June 25

The sensor group extracted the OR + K648000 plasmid using the Omega Bio-Tek miniprep protocol. This plasmid will be sent to sequencing on Monday.
