Questions

Design 2

  • How big does a 2-ply lid need to be to span a 30-helix barrel?
  • Can we use two scaffolds in the design?
    • 2x42bp repeats in barrel
    • 30-helix bundle with 30*(2*42+12) repeats = 2880 bases
    • two-ply-lid: 36 * (2*42+12) = 3456 * 2 = 6912
    • using single scaffold for 2880-base 30hb: 9792 bases total = $783.36
    • 3x42bp repeats in barrel
    • 30-helix bundle with 30*(3*42+12) repeats = 4140 bases
    • two-ply-lid: 36 * (2*42+12) = 3456 * 2 = 6912
    • using single scaffold for 4140-base 30hb: 11052 bases total = $884.16
  • Will unused scaffold interfere with proper folding of lid & barrels
    • Should we use two M13-based scaffolds, or try to make ΦX174 to have less slack?
    • Can we easily get ΦX174? fermentas
