To Do

  • Koch/Atlas group meeting at 3
  • Try out new buffer we made yesterday?
  • Try Kinesin?
  • Clean up lab

12-6

BRB80

  • Since there are so many ways to make this buffer, Koch wanted me to try to find different famous people's recipes for the buffer
    • People to look for, Block and Vale
  • What we use for Cytoskeleton is called PEM and while PEM and BRB80 can be the same, they do not have to be
    • I did searches on both PEM and BRB80 and the following recipes are also reported by what they are called
  • Special Note: All PDF's linked here are from the personal website of the authors and are free access

    • Andy mentions that he thinks these buffers are what Block used to get kinesin to stick to beads. It not be what we want, but if the whole "soup" (Beads + kinesin + buffer) is added to the microtubes mix and it doesnt mess things up, this stuff should be fine.
