Protocols
Number Name Description
000 Template Template for all the protocols made by SDU iGEM 2015.
001 Linker GFP Assembly of a biobrick that contains the Linker-GFP gene.
002 Control of Leucine Zipper To conjugate a leucin zipper to the T18 and T25 domain as used in the bacterial
two-hybrid system and to furthermore verify that the bacterial two-hybrid system
works
003 Interlab Study Measurement of GFP under influence of different promoters.
004 cAMP Indicator To create a brick that can indicate the activation of CyaA in the two hybrid
system, by colour expression when increased presence of cAMP.
005 CyaA Knockout To create a knockout of the CyaA gene in MG1655. This is done to get a bacterial
strain which we can use to use and test the Two-Hybrid System.
006 Characterization of PcstA To better characterize the cAMP­inducable promotor PcstA. Three experiments are designed and executed in this protocol.
007 The Two Hybrid System To construct two bricks that interact with each other allowing CyaA activation. The activation only occurs if the proteins bound to CyaA interact with each other. This interaction allows CyaA to produce cAMP from ATP.
008 Peptide Aptamer Screening To screen for peptide aptamers using the two­hybrid system.
