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?
- 30-helix bundle with 30*(3*42+12) repeats = 4140 bases
- two-ply-lid: 36 * (2*42+12) = 3456 * 2 = 6912
- 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
Protection assay
- Can we digest streptavidin with Qiagen proteinase K and/or Qiagen protease?
- What is our initial protocol?
