May 4th: Bacterial and Yeast Transformation

May 11th: Gibson Assembly

Gibson Assembly pdf

May 19th: Research on Parts

Kozak Sequence- directs translation of mRNA for more efficiency and accuracy

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

1st Forward Primer contains an overhang to attach the biobrick to the plasmid, two restriction enzyme sites (required to form a biobrick), 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
