Container 3.2

Initial Container v3.2 Preparation and Analysis

  • Oligos arrived this morning from Invitrogen. Plan for today is to mix oligos together into pre-stocks, and then working stocks, and then try some initial folding experiments and gel analysis.

Creating pre-working stocks and working stocks from design 3.2 oligos

  • Mix 10 μL of each 50 μM stock oligo
oligo desc plate location total
c3.2.1 core barrel 3.2p1A01–3.2p1H10 94

Gel analysis

Protein & DNA-staining Experiment (Repeat 1)

1. Rxn Mixtures

Tube Lane Thrombin mass (μg) 2 μM thrombin (μL)
(2 μM = 1.299 μg/μL)
water (μL) 10x loading dye (μL) total volume (μL)
1 8 0.65 0.5 6.5 3.0 10.0
2 9 1.30 1.0 6.0 3.0 10.0
3 10 1.95 1.5 5.5 3.0 10.0
4 11 2.69 2.0 5.0 3.0 10.0
Tube Lane 2 μM Aptamer (μL) water (μL) 10x loading dye (μL) total volume (μL)
1 2 1.0 6.0 3.0 10.0
2 3 2.0 5.0 3.0 10.0
3 4 3.0 4.0 3.0 10.0
4 5 4.0 3.0 3.0 10.0

2. Protocol

   - gel run @ 120V for 1.25 hrs. 
   - gel cut into DNA & protein sections after removal from cartridge (slight tearing towards bottom)
   - protein section stained w/ GelCode Blue Stain (Coomassie Blue) for 1 hr.
   - DNA section stained w/ 10μL EtBr in 100 mL Tris-glycine buffer for 1 hr.

3. Results

   - loading dye moved about 2/3 of the way down the gel
   - protein did not image
   - small spot of DNA in lane 4
