June 2012 Notebook

Week 1

June 6th

  • Set up some lab equipment
  • Autoclaved for a while
  • Organized biobrick stuff
  • Called Vinoo about DNA planning

June 7th

  • Transformed Cph8, pLsr, and LuxS
  • Placed order with Vinoo
  • Developed idea using PGY/PCN system to activate a gene

Week 2

June 11th

 

Wet Lab

  • PCR'd mCherry from NAS157
  • Ran 1% Gel and purified product
  

Dry Lab

  • Designed primers for LsR promoter
  • Meeting with Dr. Sarkar

June 12th

 

Wet Lab

  • Digested mCherry PCR product with BamHI and NotI
  • Column purified mCherry and ligated into NAS152 backbone
  • Transformed NAS152-mCherry into DH5alpha
  • Poured 25 LB-Kan plates
  

Dry Lab

  • Research more information about bacterial drug delivery system
  • More research into biofilm project

June 14th

  

Dry Lab

  • Met with Dr. Goulian, obtained pDawn and pDusk
  • Identified inaK as a surface display gene we can use

Week 3

June 18th

  

Wet Lab

  • Miniprep pDawn and pDusk
  • Test cut pDawn and pDusk with XmaI, analytical gel was correct
  • Prep cut pDawn and pDusk with BamHI and NotI, gel purified
  

Dry Lab

  • Ordered and picked up PCR purification kit from cell center
  • Additional orders through cell center
  • Designed primers for one of Peter's components (forgot which)

June 20

  

Wet Lab

  • Picked 2 colonies of pDawn-mCherry, innoculated in 5 mL of LB and 50 ug/mL of Kan
  • PCR purified fragments (Peter), then ran gel?
  

Dry Lab

  • Researched DARPin binding domains and linkers
  • Finalized some biobrick orders
  • Finalized synthesis order (minus linker)
