Sequence Verification
- ICA MaSp2 3-mer
- MaSp2 6-mer
- Sequence failure for 1, 2.
- Sequence 3 is good.
- MaSp2 Seq AB
- 1: BAD: single bp deletion
- 2: GOOD
- 3: BAD: 20 bp insert
Restriction Enzyme Digestion, Subcloning Preparation

Ligation for Transformation Preparation
- Ligate MaSp2 3-mer, 6-mer into BBa_K525998.
- Ligate MaSp2 ICA 9-mer into pSB1C3.
- Used Ligation Calculator with the following parameters to determine relative DNA amounts:
- vector size: 2200 bp
- vector amount: 50 ng
- insert size:
- 3-mer: 406 bp
- 6-mer: 712 bp
- 9-mer: 1018 bp
- 3:1 ratio of insert:vector
- Ligation in 20 uL reactions with 1 uL of T4 Ligase.
- Ligated at 25 C for 25 min, then heat kill at 65 C for 10 min.
Transformation
- 2 uL of ligated product MaSp2 3-mer, 6-mer were transformed into BL21(DE3) chemical competent cells.
- Plated all the bacteria onto chloramphenicol plates.
- 3 uL of ligated MaSp2 ICA 9-mer were dialyzed against ultra-pure water.
- Transformed 2 uL of MaSp2 ICA 9-mer into DH5(alpha) electrocompetent cells.
- Plated all the bacteria onto chloramphenicol plates.
