Added 1 ul serva/100ml to the earlier made 0.8% agarose gel.Today the PCR products of the signal sequences (FliZ, EstA, MotB and LytB) are purified using the Roche gel purification kit. Using nanodrop reveals the following concentrations:
| signal sequence | concentration (ng/µl) |
|---|---|
| FliZ | 9.2 |
| LytB | 8.2 |
| MotB | 8.8 |
| EstA | 8.8 |
Because of the low concentrations a new PCR is done using the PCR products.
A PCR is done for some different silk constructs to start with. The following combinations are made:
- signal sequence - N-terminal strep tag - silk
- signal sequence - silk - C-terminal strep tag
- signal sequence - silk - no strep tag
- silk without tag
For every sample an annealing temperature of 50°C is used, expecting a size of 900 bp.
The samples are run over a 0.8% agarose gel. This revealed that no bands are present at all. So the gel is stained with a high concentration of Ethidium Bromide and the bands appear. A big smear is seen for all the silk products, with a higher concentrated band around 200 bp. Because of this results it is decided to do a gradient PCR on the first combination from 55-75°C.
