Screening digestion

Screening was performed with BamHI-HF and PstI-HF. While PstI-HF cuts at the suffix (the end of the insert), BamHI-HF is able to cut only SAMsynthetase at 102th base position. So, the screening digestion will show one band at nearly 3100bp if pSB1C3 contains Plac+RFP, at nearly 2000bp if an 'empty' pSB1C3 is present and two bands (one at nearly 2200bp and the other at nearly 1000bp) if we have pSB1C3 with SAMsynthetase.
