May 19th: Research on Parts

Kozak Sequence- directs translation of mRNA for more efficiency and accuracy; the amount of protein synthesized from mRNA is dependent on the strength of the Kozak sequence

Promoter Region- site for RNA polymerase to attach to and begin transcription; yeast has many promoters within its genome that can be used to express metal detectors

Terminator Sequence- signals the end of transcriptoin to RNA polymerase

Vector- Plasmid

    ORI (Origin of Replication)
    Selection Markers
         -Ura3 is a selection marker for yeast
         -Ampicillin Resistance is a selection marker for bacteria based antibiotic resistance

May 26th: Primer Design

Primers- the 3' section must be complementary to the DNA template, the 5' end may have additional, noncomplimentary base sequences to add restriction enzyme sites, and the 3' sections should not be complimentary to each other (increases risk of primer-dimers forming and inhibiting amplification); forward primers extend from start codon to stop codon while reverse primers work from stop codon to start codon

1st Forward Primer contains an overhang to attach the biobrick to the plasmid, two restriction enzyme sites (for cutting the sequnce out), and a primer for the constructin of a new strand

2nd Forward Primer contains a primer for contructing a new strand to connect the translational unit to the biobrick

Reverse Primer contains an overhang to attach the biobrick to the multi-cloning site (on the plasmid), the other two restriction enzymes sites, and a primer for contructiong a new strand
