Estimation of plasmid concentration

Erectrophoresis result

Electrophoresis to estimate the concentration of plasmid extraction products(dT,RBS,pT7 and pLacI-RBS-Ag43).

1. Used 1% agarose gel.
2. Added EtBr to TBE buffer and soaked the gel by applying current.
3. Ran 1.2 ul of DNA solutions (1 ul is plasmid extraction product and 0.2 ul is Loading Dye) for 35 min.
4. Took a photograph of 1% agarose gel.

Digestion of I719005, B0034 and pSB1K3

• pSB1K3(25 ng/ul)

</p>

Ethanol precipitation of Digestion products

Concentrating the DNA solution which and removing restriction enzymes.

1. Added 3 ul of NaoAc, 1.5 ul of glycogen and 75 ul of 100% ethanol.
2. Centrifuged at 14000 rpm, 30 min at 4C.
3. Removed supernatant and added 220ul of 70% ethanol.
4. Centrifuged at 15000 rpm, 15 min at 4C.
5. Removed supernatant and air dried at room temperature. Dissolved in 10 ul of DW.

Ligation (3A Assembly)

3A assembly requires Ligation reaction total volume to be 25 ul.

Incubation of ligation reaction.

ligation was finished. But now is 10 pm. 2.5hrs are needed for transformation. Transformation would be finished at 0:30 am.

Withdraw!!!!

• (pT7 + RBS)

Transformation

Transformation for pT7+RBS+pSB1K3

1. Added DNA soltions (Ligation products) 1 ul to DH5α compitent cell.

• (Ag43 + dT)

Assembling K346007(Ag43) + B0015(dT) with 2-piece assembly(Biobrisk standard assembly)

Digestion

Digested Ag43 and dT in solution by recipes Written below. Insert DNA required too much weight and volume(volume was calculated from concentration of plasmid extraction product)from our calculation. There are no insurance of succession of digestion.

• Ag43(Insert)

5190bp(Ag43 + pSB1C3)

• dT(Vector)

3318bp(Ag43 + pSB1AK3)

Digestion result

K346007(Ag43) was 5190bp before digestion (Biobrick prefix + Ag43 + Biobrick suffix + pSB1C3). After digestion, Ag43 and pSB1C3 was separated and became fragments about 3120bp(Ag43) and 2070bp(pSB1C3). Gel image above shows there are two fragments, one fragment is about 2000bp other fragment is 3000bp. Digestion would be succeeded. About Vector(Boo15:dT), the DNA was circular so DNA migrated more far than Linear DNA. d+ (Circular DNA) migrated little more far than d- (Linear DNA). so we think digestion was succeeded.

Ethanol precipitation

Ethanol precipitation for gel extraction products(K346007(Ag43) and B0015(dT))
