1. PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction): PCR used to modify Lambda_cI by copying a section of the gene, adding RBS, and using RS (restriction site enzyme) to cut copied gene section at the appropriate restriction site. PCR Components in 50uL sln
Components Volume
Phusion HF Buffer 10.0uL
10 mM dNTP's 1.0uL
Primer mix 2.5uL
Template DNA 1.0uL
Phusion DNA Polymerase 0.5uL
H20 35.0uL



2. Run PCR in Gel Electrophoresis:
a. Used 0.8% agarose gel, TAE buffer, and ethidium bromide (interculating agent)
b. Gel proved have correct Lambda_cI gene with 750 base pairs. Can now perform PCR purification (add buffers).
3. Miniprep MCherry gene
4. Spectrophotometry: Used to determine the concentration of DNA in solution. Spec'd Lambda_cI with RBS (PCR sample).
