Morning

  • The Transformed A2-1 and A2-2 showed no colonies
  • The Gel done for yesterdays PCR showed no bands

Lab Work

  • A new ligation of A2-1 and A2-2 with PSB1C3 was performed and they were transformed into XL1-BLUE cells
  • Digested more PSB1C3
  • PCR run on the B1 colonies in the expression vector
  • Gel run on the PCR product from B1 colonies
  • Plasmid prep was done on the overnight cultures
  • Digestion of Plasmid prep with EcoRI and PstI


Other Work

Damian requested the sequence for the RBS we are using. We sent him the sequence of BBa_J04500 (which has the RBS: BBa_B0034).

Since we dont know which plant CYP we will be able to express (if any...) we asked Damian, if he and his team could generate a regulating system that targets two enzymes at the same time. The idea was that the CYPs we use are homologues and have 100 % conserved regions long enough to meet the requirements of their system. In an alignment between A1 and A2, and B1 and A2, two regions of 14 and 9 bases long, repectively, were found. We have asked Damian to use theese sequences in the RNA system.
