Amplification of BioBricks

Miniprep of BioBricks

  • Miniprep was performed using Qiagen kit and eluted in 35 µl ddH2O.
  • From 500 µl of liquid culture, a glycerol stock was prepared as described in Preparing glycerol stocks.

Result

  • DNA concentration was determined using nanovue.
Sample Concentration [ng/µl]
pSB4K5 21
pSB6A1 47
lacZ 45
pSB1C3 23


Generation of Plasmid Backbones

Restriction Digest of BioBrick pSB6A1

Component Amount [µl]
PSB6A1 DNA 32.5
BSA (10x)5
NEB2 buffer (10x) 5
Enzymes (EcoRI-HF and PstI) 1.5 each
ddH2O 4.5

Result

Fig. 2.1: Restriction results of 06-05. l1:2log, l2: P1 (pSB4K5),l3:2log, l4-5:amplified DelH fragment 1 , l6-7:amplified DelH fragment 2,l8:2log, l9: P3 (pSB1C3)


The fragments of plasmids pSB4K5 and pSB1C3 show the expected pattern.

=> BioBrick backbone was cut and gel isolated.


Generation of LacZ Fragment

Restriction Digest of BioBrick pSB1AK3 Conditions A

Component Amount [µl]
pSB1AK3 DNA 32.5
BSA (10x)5
NEB3 buffer (10x) 5
Enzymes (XbaI and PstI) 1.5 each
ddH2O 4.5
  • Incubation for 1 h at 37°C

Result

  • The restriction mix was loaded onto a 1% agarose gel using 6 µl gene ruler marker.
Fig. 2.1: Restriction results of 06-05. l1:2log, l2: P1 (pSB4K5),l3:2log, l4-5:amplified F1 for Backbone (pSB6A1), l6-7:amplified fragment 2 for Backbone (lacZ),l8:2log, l9: P3 (pSB13)

The fragments show the expected pattern.

=> LacZ insert were cut and gel isolated.


Restriction Digest of BioBrick K173004(lacZ) Conditions B

Component Amount [µl]
pSB1AK3 DNA 8.3
BSA (10x) 5
NEB4 buffer (10x) 5

ddH2O 28.7
  • Purification was performed with Qiagen Nucleotide removal Kit and eluted in 38.5 µl ddH2O

Result

2.5 µl were measured with the Nanovue. The measurement proved the failure of miniprep.

Restriction Digest of BioBrick K173004(lacZ) Conditions C

Component Amount [µl]
pSB1AK3 DNA 32.5

ddH2O -

Result

Fig.2.2 Gel of cut lacZ (loaded 20 µL)
, l1-2: lacz & pSB1AT,l3:2log ladder
=> lacZ was cut out


=>The band was too high on gel and discarded, because we cannot be sure if it really is lacZ or the backbone of the lacZ plasmid.
