Afternoon-2 lab work done by: Charlie Chung
- Background
- The PCR site-directed mutagenesis done earlier today should ideally enhance protein expression of VioA, VioB, VioE, and RFP by deleting excessive nucleotides between the ribosome binding site and the ATG start codon in the original DNA sequences
- Work Accomplished
- Plated the transformed products of VioA, VioB, VioE, and RFP on agar plates treated with ampicillin or carbenicillin (two are on amp; other two are on carb)
- Incubating at 37°C in Olin 303

Afternoon lab work done by: Charlie Chung
- VioA, VioB, and VioE plates = lots of bacterial colonies, high-density growth
- - Picked three colonies from each plate and started up (3mL LB + 3µL carbenicillin) cultures
- VioA-1,2,3
- VioB-1,2,3
- VioE-1,2,3
- - Incubating at 37°C in Olin 304
- RFP plate = ~5 colonies
- - Picked two colonies and started up (3mL LB + 3µL carbenicillin) cultures
- RFP-1,2
- - Incubating at 37°C in Olin 304
