CMV PCR (Sabine)
-PCR with primer for the CMV promotor; as DNA template the CMV+RLuc construct from the Ljubljana group (isolated from the parts collection 2007) was used.

For a 50 µl reaction:
40,4 µl H2O
5 µl buffer (10x)
1,5 µl FWD Primer (15pmol)(
1,5 µl REV Primer (15pmol)
1 µl dNTP (10mM)
0,1 µl DNA template
0,5 µl Pfu Polymerase

The settings for the PCR machine are the following:
1. T=94°C 00:02:00
2. T=94°C 00:00:30
3. T=62°C 00:00:30
4. T=72°C 00:01:00
5. GOTO 2 REP 29
6. T=72°C 00:10:00
7. HOLD 6°C

No product was received.

1) Origami with NIP and fluorophor for the binding measurement

We had to produce some new origami for our next binding measurements.

• Origami with NIP and fluorophor

• Origami only with fluorophor (without NIP); negative control

see at the protocol from 07-24-2008

2) Origami for the Calciummeasurement

• Origami with NIP

• Origami without NIP (negative control)

see at the protocol from 07-24-2008

To increase the concentration of origami we also made to probes with the double amount

ingredients of the protocol from 07.24.2008

3) Master cycler

The origamis were produced in the mastercycler as explained before.

4) Purification of the DNA Origami

Was done as before

5) Digestion of CMV+Rluc (Sabine) Digestion with EcoRV und FspI (3h at 37°C)

• 5µl plasmid
• 10µl H2O
• 0,5µl enzyme
• 2,5µl buffer (2)
• 0,5µl BSA

6) CMV PCR (Sabine)
-the same PCR with different annealing temperatures using a gradient between 58°C and 62°C (optimal annealing temperature: 62°C)
-again, no products were gained

Sep. 15th 2008

CMV-PCR (Sabine)
-another effort to gain the CMV-Promotor via PCR, this time with different polymerases: Taq Polymerase and a Mix.
-one approach with the complete plasmid and one with the digested plasmid (see digestion of CMV+Rluc)
-products in the approach with taq polymerase as well as in the approach with the Mix. 3 bands from each approach were cut out

Sep. 16th 2008

Gel purification (Sabine)
-gel purification of the PCR products

Digestion of the PCR products and the transfectionvector (Sabine, Kathrin)
-digestion with EcoRI and PstI
-ligation

Sep. 18th 2008

Transformation (Sabine)
-transformation with the ligation product.

Sep. 19th 2008

Transformation (Sabine)
-no colonies on the plates.

Sep. 20th 2008

Digestion of the PCR products and the transfection-vector (Sabine)
-the restriction-enzymes XbaI and SpeI were used

Gel purification and ligation (Sabine)
-digestion of PCR products and vector

Sep. 21st 2008

Transformation of the ligation (Sabine)
-RV 308 cells were transformed with 10 µl of the ligation
