Stuff done thus far:

• Did this experiment to verify that OD and cell dilution factors were linearly related>

.

• Performed assays for the expression of his and strep tags on the E.coli surface. Used denaturation electrophoresis for this a picture is shown below:
  

6/27 protein denaturation electrophoresis gel

Description: 6/27 denaturation electrophoresis gel

The rightmost lane is the ladder
lane 1 Ladder
lane 2 OmpA1 + strep before induction with IPTG
lane 3 OmpA1 + his6 before induction
lane 4 OmpA1 + strep after induction
lane 5 OmpA1 + his6 after induction
lane 6 OmpA1 + his6 after induction
lane 7 OmpA1 + strep after induction
lane 8 OmpA1 + his6 before induction
lane 9 OmpA1 + strep before induction


Note that there were 2 copies of each sample: samples in lanes 2 to 5 were denatured for a 2 minute period as per protocol while samples in lanes 6 to 9 were denatured for a 10 minute period, Sammy S.

2. Then went on to investigate the appropriate times to induce expression of the OmpA-fusion protein constructs on the E.coli surface using IPTG
