Results from yesterday's transformations

ompF + RBS 100 µl equal amounts - 44 colonies

ompF + RBS 100 µl equal moles - 8 colonies

ompF + RBS 400 µl equal amounts - 107 colonies

ompF + RBS 400 µl equal moles - 35 colonies

RFP control equal amounts - 15 colonies

RFP control equal moles - 49 colonies

Ligation

The ligation was carried out using two methods: equal volumes and equal moles. To calculate the equimolar volumes, we used the following data:

Part Part Length (bp)
AMP plasmid 2155
K592011 702
RBS (B0015) 129
RFP 774


K592011, B0015, AMP plasmid, and RFP were from the digestions on the 29th. We pipetted the following volumes into four 0.6ml tubes:


New Part A (Cyan + B0015, eq/vol) B (RFP control, eq/vol) C (Cyan + B0015, equimolar) C(RFP Control, equimolar)
Plasmid 2 ul 2 ul 2 ul 2 ul
Cyan 2 ul - 0.66 -
B0015 2 ul - - -
B0015 (10x dilution) - - 1.2 ul -
RFP - 2 ul - 0.74 ul
T4 ligase buffer 1.0 ul 1.0 ul 1.0 ul 1.0 ul
T4 DNA ligase 0.5 ul 0.5 ul 0.5 ul 0.5 ul
Non-nuclease water 2.5 ul 4.5 ul 4..64 ul 5.76 ul


The tubes were incubated at 16oC for 30 minutes and then 80oC for 20 minutes.

Gel of Digestion

While carrying out the ligation, we ran a gel of our digested parts.
