Change of the reporter from pZC with B-galactosidase to GFP or RFP

Piotr, Weronika

1. Inoculation of 10ml LB with E.coli TOP10 carrying pZC
2. Isolation and chemotransformation with plasmids nazwa (Gfp genetrator), nazwa (RFP generator)
3. Plating of chemotransformants on LB+ampicillin

Repetition of PCRs and gel-out purifications from 16 June.

PCR of Alpha-link and link-A

Michał L. Marcin and Ewa

1. We've run gradient PCR to obtain Alpha-link and link-A.
   • Taq polymerase
   • buffer suplemented with (NH₄)₂SO₄
   • MgCl₂ concentration gradient (from 1 to 4 mM)
   • annealing temp 55°C
   • elongation time 1 - 2 minutes
2. We have successfully amplified Alpha-link and link-A (Fig. 1). Now it's time for PCL (Polymerase Chain Ligation) to create fusions Alpha-A and Omega-A.
