Agenda

1. Look at digestions on gel
2. PCR Purify or Nucleotide Purify digestion results
3. Ligate constitutive promoters to RBS, CPX to B0014

Expected Part Lengths

Name                  Part Length         Plasmid Length

I14032, P(Lac)IQ      37 bp               4425 bp (pSB1AK3)
R0051, Lambda cl      49 bp               2079 bp (pSB1A3)
I728500, CPX+poly.    720 bp              3500 bp (GeneArt standard vector)
B0014, terminator     12 bp               3189 bp
B0034, RBS            12 bp               2079 bp (pSB1A3)

Gel came out fine, but bands are faint.
