Monday, July 25

Protocol Part Involved with Protocol
Restriction Digest Insert using EcoRI and SpeI: B0034
Vector using EcoRI and XbaI: tev protease
Ligation B0034+tev protease
Transformation/Plating The above ligation was transformed into
Escherichia coli cells and plated onto
kanamycin resistant plates.

OR+K64800 and OR were both grown up in culture to be used as freezer stocks.

Tuesday, July 26

Protocol Part Involved with Protocol
Restriction Digest Inserts using EcoRI and SpeI: B0031 + C0051 (R)
B0030 + C0051 (R)
B0034 + C0051 (R)
Vector using EcoRI and XbaI: OR+K648000
Ligation B0030 + C0051 + Or + K648000
B0031 + C0051 + Or + K648000
B0034 + C0051 + Or + K648000
Transformation/Plating The above ligations were transformed into Escherichia
coli cells and plated onto kanamycin resistant plates.

The B0034+tev protease assembly from Monday, July 25 was verified on an agarose gel. The gel showed a band that corresponded to the correct size, so the colonies used for the gel were grown up in culture. The sequencing results came back positive.

Wednesday, July 27

Protocol Part Involved with Protocol
Insert PCR OR
Restriction Digest Insert using EcoRI and SpeI: OR
Vector using EcoRI and XbaI: 34Cro
Ligation OR+34Cro
Transformation/Plating The above ligation was transformed into
Escherichia coli cells and plated onto
kanamycin resistant plates.

The following constructs (assembled Tuesday, July 26) were verified on an agarose gel:

B0030 + C0051 + Or + K648000
B0031 + C0051 + Or + K648000
B0034 + C0051 + Or + K648000

Results: The gel indicated that the plasmids were the correct size. The colonies used for the gel were grown up in culture.

Thursday, July 28

The constructs assembled on Tuesday, July 26, yielded poor sequencing results. Thus, the assemblies will have to be repeated.

The OR+34Cro construct assembled Wednesday, July 27, was run on an agarose gel. The gel showed that the assembly failed and will have to be repeated.

Protocol Part Involved with Protocol
Insert PCR B0015
Restriction Digest Insert using XbaI and PstI: B0015
Vector using SpeI and PstI: B0034+tev protease
Ligation B0034+tev protease+B0015
Transformation/Plating The above ligation was transformed into
Escherichia coli cells and plated onto
kanamycin resistant plates.

The 34Cro part was grown up in culture to be used as freezer stock.

Friday, July 29

The following plasmids were extracted using the Omega Bio-Tek miniprep kit and sent to the sequencing center:

KOr + Cro (A)
KOr + Cro (B)

The following parts were amplified through PCR:

C0051 + B0030
C0051 + B0031
C0051 + B0034
