Protocols

Our project deals with E.coli cells which sense Auto-inducing peptides (AIPs) from the Staphylococcus aureus and starts producing Antimicrobial peptides in order to kill the Staphylococcus aureus. Different protocols used during the project are described below.


Ligation

Requirements:

  1. Cut Insert DNA
  2. Cut Vector DNA
  3. Ligase buffer
  4. T4 DNA ligase
  5. Distilled water

Prodecure:

  1. Calculate the amount of vector DNA and insert DNA to add based on the ratio of the DNA and vector(3:1),if insert DNA size is 5 times smaller than vector DNA or 1:1 ratio if both sizes are same.
  2. Add suitable amount of distilled water to make up total volume to 50 μL.
  3. Add 1 μL T4 DNA ligase buffer.
  4. Add 1 μL T4 DNA ligase.
  5. Ligate at 16°C overnight or leave it at room temperature for 4 hours.

The next step would be to transform the new construct (approx ~ 1-2μL)into competent cells.
