General Notes
- Stock Oligos: reconstituted (50uM for non-biotinylated oligos, 200uM for biotinylated) oligos in wells or tubes
- Pre-working Stocks: mixtures of 10uM of each oligo needed for a "class" of oligos (ex. core, barrel, lid1, lid2); for non-biot oligos, this requires 10uL of each of the necessary stock oligos, for biot-oligos, this requires 2.5uL of stock oligos + 7.5uL dH2O
- Working Stocks: mixtures of however-many-oligos-are-in-each-class uL (ex. if there are 94 oligos in the core class of 3.2's design, use 94uL of the core pre-working stock), diluted to a total of 200uL of solution (each individual oligo will be at 250nM)
Brainstorming and future projects
Thrombin-aptamer experiments
Questions / procedures
- what percent gel? 10% to 20% polyacrylamide gels, no SDS (but would make for a good control)
- what incubation conditions?
- how much protein and DNA? protein at 1 μM, DNA at 2 μM
- Coomassie stain
