Adding promoters to Y4 (10-7-15).
Pveg (iGEM distribution kit 2015, plate 1, 20 G)
For the promoters the restriction enzymes EcoRI & Spel were used. For the backbone Xbal & EcoRI were used.

Digestion samples
These samples were digested at 37 °C for two hours. They were then on a gel at 100 V for 45 minutes. 1% agarose with DNA stain G 1:50000 was used. For each sample, 20 µL of DNA was mixed with 4 µL of 6x buffer. 10 µL of Quick-Load® Purple 2-Log DNA Ladder (0.1 - 10.0 kb) was used.

Gel cuts.
The DNA was purified using a PCR purification kit (Genejet #K0701, lot 00265976). 25 µL elution buffer was used. The concentrations were checked using Nanodrop.
