Results of transformation

Plate with many cells on it; picked 8 to PCR (see 2 days ago for PCR protocol, except extension time decreased to 3 min). Expected value is ~2650bp.

Also restreaked; marked in chinese numerals :D in the fridge.

SUCCESS!

Western blot outline

We are going to do the following "lanes:"

 9: J36022 in Top10, 0.6OD*
 10: GFP device in Top10, 0.4OD
 11: Negative control (H20? :D)
 12: Nothing
 *This OD value must be greater than 0.4 but less than stationary phase; any number works as long as all 3 lanes are the same

It is ambiguous as to what nm range the OD should be taken; I'd imagine 600nm through literature searches? The Endy protocol does not say the OD wavelength.

To secure the OD measurement, I assume one should:

  • Either grow a colony to saturation or innoculate one from frozen

    • Collect a sample at 0.6OD; then dilute sample to 0.4OD and 0.18OD.
