Week Beginning 15/6/2015

Summary

Produced a plasmid preperation of pIDT-OBP2A in order to use it as template in PCR.

17/6: Transformation of pIDT-OBP2A in MC1610 E.coli strain.

Aim of Experiment: To transform pIDT-OBP2A into MC1061 e.coli strain

Protocols Used: Transformation

Results: N/A

Next Steps: If the transformation is successful the next step will be to produce an overnight culture for plasmid preparation.

18/6: Produce an overnight culture of pIDT-OBP2A plasmid in MC1061.

Aim of experiment: To produce an overnight culture of pIDT-OBP2A from positive colonies of MC1061 E.coli strain from the transformation done on the 17/6.

Protocols Used: Overnight Cultures

Results: N/A

Next Steps: Produce a plasmid preparation of pIDT-OBP2A from this overnight culture.

19/6: Produce a plasmid preparation of pIDT-OBP2A from the overnight culture.

Aim of experiment: The overnight culture produced yesterday will now undergo a plasmid preparation in order to obtain the pIDT-OBP2A plasmid.

Protocols Used: Miniprep

Results: The plasmid preperation yeilded a concentration of 305.53 ng/ul.

Next Steps: To run a PCR using the purified pIDT-OBP2A plasmid as a template for amplification.

Week Beginning 22/6/2015

Summary

Removal of the signaling peptide from OBP2A and insertion of OBP2A into the biobrick vector pSB1C3.

22/6: PCR of pIDT-OBP2A using primers designed for the removal of the signaling peptide.

Aim of Experiment: To perform a PCR on the plasmid preparation of pIDT-OBP2A produced last week, using primers that have been designed in a way as to remove the signalling peptide at the start of the OBP2A gene.

Protocols Used: PCR

Results: N/A

Next Steps: The next step will be to run the PCR product on a gel and perform a gel extraction on the part of the gel corresponding to the size of the OBP2A gene fragment.

23/6: Produce an overnight culture of pIDT-OBP2A plasmid in MC1061.

Aim of experiment: To produce an overnight culture of pIDT-OBP2A from positive colonies of MC1061 E.coli strain from the transformation done on the 17/6.

Protocols Used: Overnight Cultures

Results: N/A

Next Steps: Produce a plasmid preparation of pIDT-OBP2A from this overnight culture.
