Lab Notes

We conducted our experiments at Fuji Laboratory, Komaba Research Campus.

September 11th  Cylinder and Ring(first ver.)

Staple Mix (Cylinder)

Amount Stock
Staple 2.5μL(each) 50μM
TE buffer 52.5μL
Total 500μL

Stock of the staples are 50μM.
There were 179 strands for the Cylinder.

September 13th  Observing Cylinder and Ring(first ver.) by AFM

This is the image of the Ring( 15- equivalent).
Unfortunately, since the AFM was out of control for a while, we couldn't take all all the images of our samples which we made on September 11th.

There might have been artificial mistakes, we decided to make the staple mix from the first.

September 13th  Agarose Gel Electrophoresis(Cylinder and Ring)

Since we failed to observe our origami by AFM, we decided to try electrophoresis.

Preparing Gel

Concentration Amount
Agarose 1.75%(wt/V) 0.525g
TBE10x 1x 3mL
Mg2+ 12.5mM 375μL
mQ up to 30mL
Total 30mL


  • Pour the gel into frames.
  • Put frames into a refrigerator.

Preparing Sample

  • For each sample, we mix 2μL of loading buffer and 10μL of DNA sample.
    We prepared seven samples - Cylinder(10 - equivalent), Cylinder(15 - equivalent), Cylinder (Staple mix), M13, Ring (Staple mix), Ring(15 - equivalent), Ring(10 - equivalent).
  • Put seven samples on the gel and pour TBE buffer into the container.
  • Leave 1.5 hours under 50V condition.

Observing

We tried to observe this using SyBR Green 1 Dye, but we couldn't to see anything separated. The condition of the gel might not have been good.


September 19th  Cylinder and Ring(first ver.)

We retried creating samples of our first version of Cylinder and Ring under exactly the same condition on September 11th.

September 20th  Observing Cylinder and Ring(first ver.) by AFM

  • This is the image of the Cylinder.


  • This is the image of the Ring.



As you can see, we succeeded in making the Cylinder but we failed to make the Ring.
After a careful consideration, we found out that the design of the structure was not good. Therefore, we designed a new version of the Ring.

October 15th  Ring(third ver.)

Staple

Dilute the oligo to 100μM.

Staple Mix

Concentration Amount Stock
Staple 1μM 2μL 100μM
TE buffer 176μL
Total 200μL


There were 12 strands for this Ring.

Ring

Concentration Amount Stock
Mg2+ 14mM 0.7μL 1M
TBE 10x 5μL
Staple Mix 2.5μM 25μL 5μL
mQ 19.3μL
Total 50μL


Annealing Process

  • 90°C~15°C
  • -0.1°C/min.
  • more than 12 hours
