Superconcentration Experiments
PAGE Coomassie Gel Imaging of Superconcentration of Eb, Fb, and Gb
- destained: 10 min in H2O, two times
- imaged gel from yesterday
lane | component | concentration | amount of component in well μL | streptavidin added μL |
1 | streptavidin | 2uM | 3.5 | - |
2 | p7308 | 44uM | 7.5 | 3.5 |
3 | c4.0.6b (ie. biotinylated inside-oligos) | 50nM each oligo (as in all pre-working stocks) | 7 | 3.5 |
4 | Eb PEG-pellet | 21/8 of a rxn | 15 | 3.5 |
5 | Fb PEG-pellet | 21/8 of a rxn | 15 | 3.5 |
6 | Gb PEG-pellet | 21/8 of a rxn | 15 | 3.5 |
7 | streptavidin | 2uM | 7 | - |
- Conclusions:
- streptavidin band clear
- biotinylated oligos coomassie band clear too, in different place
- there are definitely streptavidin-bound biotinylated oligos in lane 3
- it is difficult to see in the image, but a darker blue band was visible at the top of lane 5, where the nanostructure should be
- streptavidin bound to Eb
- unfortunately, Eb = inside-biotinylation -latches, so how the streptavidin bound and was visualized when the Gb (outside-biotinylation +latch1) didn't bind it is questionable
- it is a very faint band
- no bands were seen at the top of the gel in the expected lane 6 (Gb)
- is it possible that streptavidin actually bound to nanostructures can't be stained w/ coomassie?
- that would explain why the inside-biotinylated +latch1 design, which would not (we expect) permit the biotinylated-oligos within to bind streptavidin, shows a lot more unbound streptavidin and biotinylated-oligos-bound streptavidin
PAGE EtBr Gel Imaging of Superconcentration of Eb, Fb, and Gb
- as a first try, the gel was destained a further 30min in H2O before EtBr staining was attempted
- 200mL of H2O +7uL of EtBr were used as a stain; the gel was allowed to stain for 15 min
- no luck, no bands at all were seen under UV
- will save gel in H2O till figure out if there is anything to be done about it
More Folding Reactions for Further Superconcentration Experiments with Stains-All
- made working stocks (=12.5 rxns) for:
- outside-biotinylation w/o latches, Eb
- outside-biotinylation w/ "future" (aka four-oligo, aka latch2, aka staple latches) latches, Ib
- latching which can be attempted post-incubation
- can be incubated at 37°C for 1hr with the zipper oligos (c4.0.23, 24, 25), though latches can be used in the first incubation
- inside-biotinylation w/o latches, Db
- inside-biotinylation w/ latches, Hb

- folded according to given protocol, using FOLDINGD
Folding for MgCl2 and 6x Titrations, Take Two
- because the gel from yesterday of the previoius titration showed no bands whatsoever, the reactions were refolded as before
- the reactions were, as usual, folded with the FOLDINGD program
