Objectives

  • Convert GFP (BBa_E0040) into a fusion brick using site-directed mutagenesis.
  • Convert pRL1383a into a Biobrick vector by replacing its natural MCS with the Biobrick MCS

Protocol

PCR mutagenesis of GFP

  • Combined:
  • 1 μl colony sample (above)
  • 0.5 μl 10mM forward primer
  • 0.5 μl 10mM reverse primer
  • 3 μl nanopure water
  • 5 μl Taq (we used EconoTaq Green Taq)
  • Ran for 30 cycles of denaturing, annealing, extension
  • Initial denature @ 94C for 2 min.
  • Denature @ 94C for 30 sec.
  • Anneal @ 55C for 30 sec.
  • Extend @ 72C for 60 sec.
  • Final extension @ 72C for 10 min.
  • Held @ 4C inifinitly.
