PCR of Magnesium riboswitch vector fragment B and Magnesium promoter
- Normal PCR settings used, annealing temperature 57 °C, elongation step 90s long.
- Lane 5 accidentally loaded with a DNA ladder instead of loading dye.
- Expected fragment sizes:
- Lane 2-5: 3kbp
- Lane 6-7: 300bp
- After electrophoresis, found vector products had, for the most part, worked. Promoter elements were not amplified - no band of the expected size was observed.
- Positive control also failed, although this has ceased to work for several days, potentially due to DNA degradation.

Production of electrocompetent e.coli
Gibson assembly of magnesium riboswitch and fluorescent construct
- NAD+ added to isothermal buffer*5 mix
- Gel slices from yesterday (of vector fragment B) purified.
- DNA added as follows:
- Without 8 codon substitution:
- Reaction 1: Tube 2 (07/08/12) (fragment B), Tube 1 (05/08/12) (fragment A), Tube 28 (29/08/12) (riboswitch DNA).
- Reaction 2: Tube 3 (07/08/12) (fragment B), Tube 2 (05/08/12) (fragment A), Tube 29 (29/08/12) (riboswitch DNA).
- With 8 codon substitution:
- Reaction 3: Tube 4 (07/08/12) (fragment B), Tube 1 (05/08/12) (fragment A), Tube 2 (18/07/12) (riboswitch DNA).
