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.
  • Oligos were very frozen and were left overnight at 4[[:Category:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]] to thaw.

New folding conditions

  • on PTC-100 machine, called FOLDINGD
  • step 1: 80[[:Category:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]] for 2 min, increment -1.0[[:Category:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]] each cycle
  • step 2: go to step 1, 59 more times
  • step 3: end
