In addition, to repeat the experiment performed on 08/31/11, 09/07/11, 09/27/11, 09/28/11, 10/19/11, 10/26/11, and 11/01/11.


DNA Transformation II

To transform DNA coding for mutant GFP (mutated on 09/20/11) into Novablue cells.


In addition, to repeat the experiment performed on 09/27/11.

Description

AuNP VIII

  1. Combine 8 mL of water, 1 mL HAuCl4 (2.9 mM), and 1 mL BSA (1.55 μM)in that order a test tube.
  2. Place test tubes in an oven at 80°C for 30 min.
  3. Remove test tubes from oven for 10 min.
  4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for 3.5 hr.


DNA Transformation II

  1. Digest non-methylated DNA with 1 μL Dpnl.
  2. Make LB/agar plates
    1. Mix 0.875 g LB, 0.7 g agar, and 35 mL of water.
    2. Autoclave.
    3. Add 35 μL ampicillin before agar completely cools.
  3. Place sterile tube and DNA in ice bucket for 15 min.
  4. Add 5 μL of DNA and 40 μL of cells to the bottom of the tube.
  5. Incubate on ice for 30 min.
  6. Heat shock DNA/cells at 42°C for 30 s.
  7. Incubate on ice for 5 min.
  8. Add 250 μL of SOC media.
  9. Incubate in shaker at 37°C for 1 hr.
  10. Spread 100 μL of cells on LB/agar plate.
  11. Store plate (inverted) in 37°C oven overnight.
