Revision as of 09:10, 1 August 2006
To do today
- ordering
- new oligo ligands
- AscIII (if not already ordered
- PEG precipitations
- repeat experiment, run on PA gel, run on agarose gel
- SYBR gold
- read technical specs
- determine lower threshold of imaging
SYBR gold testing
- goal: to determine the minimum amount of DNA that can be visualized with SYBR Gold
- methods: 12% PA gel with lanes listed below, run for 20 min. at 130 V, then stained with Invitrogen SYBR GOld.
- prepared 1x solution: 10 μL thawed 10,000x SYBR gold in 100 mL TBE, stored in light-proof container at 4[[:Category:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]].

PEG precipitation
- Goal: repeat titration of PEG precipitation conditions for folded containers
- Folding reactions
- 2 samples of 6hb (100 μL final volume)
- 4 samples of design 5 barrels (100 μL volume)
- Mix the following
- 10 uL 500 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 500 mM NaCl, 100 mM MgCl2
- 40 uL working stock 250 nM each oligo (100 nM each oligo final concentration)
- 50 uL p7308 20 nM (10 nM final concentration)
- Anneal from 80[[:Category:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]] to 20[[:Category:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]], -1[[:Category:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]] per min
- PEG precipitations
- Plan to use 200 μL final volume
- Trying 4%, 6%, 8%, 10%, 12%, 14%
- Add 40 μL 10 nM scaffold/100 nM oligo folded mix
- Add 20% PEG solution (40 μL, 60 μL, 80 μL, 100 μL, 120 μL, 140 μL
- Add 5 M NaCl stock solution (20 μL)
- Gel Analysis
- Analyze on 2% Mg agarose gel (0.5x TBE, 11 mM MgCl2, 0.5 μg/mL EtBr)
- Load 1kb ladder (1 lane)
- Load c5 supernatant, pellet for 0%, 4%, 6%, 8%, 10%, 12%, 14% (13 lanes)
- Load 6hb supernatant, pellet for 0%, 4%, 14% (5 lanes)
- 19 lanes total
