Week 1
6/07/2012
Wet Lab Today we transformed both versions of cph8 from 2012 Distribution.
Dry Lab We also placed order for the following new BioBricks:
- BBa_K207001 - PhyB-DBD Fusion
- BBa_K422012 - Pif3 (Aar1 C part)
- BBa_K422013 - PhyB (Aar1 C part)
- BBa_K592006 - pFixK2
- BBa_K592004 - YF1
- BBa_K592005 - FixJ
- BBa_K592000 - Cph8
- BBa_K365000 - Pif3
In addition, we brainstormed and developed a new idea to use the PYP/GCN system to activate a gene.

Wet Lab No colonies appeared in the transformation of both cph8 a/b. We suspect that the failure of the transformatiosns were due to bad sequences.
Week 2
6/11/2012
Wet Lab We performed PCR to obtain mCherry from the NAS 151 plasmid. Following this we ran a 1% gel and purified the product which resulted in a 30ns/λ yield.
6/12/2012
Wet Lab We digested mCherry PCR product with restriction enzymes BamHI and NotI. Then we column purified mCherry and ligated into NAS152 backbone. Afterwards we transformed NAS152-mCherry into DH5alpha cell lines. This was then poured 25 LB-Kan plates.
6/13/2012
Dry Lab Read papers to research the project.
6/14/2012
Dry Lab Continued to read papers.
6/15/2012
Dry Lab Met with Mark Goulian to develop the project. Also obtained pDawn and pDusk plasmids.
Week 3
6/18/2012
Wet Lab Did a test cut of pDawn and pDusk plasmids using Xma1. Ran an analytical gel. Then cut the two plasmids for ligation using BamHI and NotI . Finally ran and purified the gel.
Dry Lab We ordered and picked up PCR purification kit. Additional components were also ordered.
6/19/2012
Wet Lab Completed the ligation protocol of pDawn and pDusk plasmids with mChery. Then transformed the pDawn-mCherry and pDusk-mCherry constructs.
Dry Lab Emailed out corporations for sponsorships.
6/20/2012
Wet Lab Today we picked 2 colonies of pDawn-mCherry and then innoculated the colonies in 5 mL of LB and 50 ug/mL of Kan.
Dry Lab Started by researching DARPin binding domains and linkers. Then finalized biobrick and synthesis orders.
6/21/2012
Nothing known.
6/22/2012
Wet Lab Repeated a miniprep on pDawn and then did a test cut. Also did a miniprepped pET26b and used it to make a glycerol stock. Lastly, digested pET-26b with BamH1 and Not1
Dry Lab Sent in synthesis orders!
