1. Single Digests: Performed today. Incubated digested samples for 2hrs @ 37C. Refer to table below.
Gene 10x Buffer BSA Protein H20 DNA RE
Promoter 5.0uL 0.5uL 40.4uL 2.1uL 2.0uL, SPE
LAMBDAcI 5.0uL 0.5uL 29.5uL 15.0uL 1.0uL, XBA 1
LAMBDAcI 5.0uL 0.5uL 29.5uL 15.0uL 1.0uL, SPE
Terminator 5.0uL 0.5uL 38.0uL 4.5uL 2.0uL, XBA 1
NOTE: RE = Restriction Enzyme
2. Ligation: Performed today. Heat inactivated enzyme @ 65C for 15 min to kill enzymes.Ligate samples. Incubate ligated samples @ 16C for 1hour. Refer to table

below.

Genes 10x Buffer H20 Base Vector Insert DNA Ligase
LAMBDAcI/Terminator 2.0uL 10.7uL 2.0uL (Term.) 4.3uL (LAMBDAcI) 1.0uL
Promoter/LAMBDAcI 2.0uL 10.7uL 2.0uL (Pro.) 4.3uL (LAMBDAcI) 1.0uL


3. Double Digests: Performed today. After digestion, incubate samples for 2hrs @37C. Heat inactivate restriction site enzymes EcorI and PstI in a water bath @ 65C for 15 minutes to denature the enzymes, thus stopping/controlling digestion. Place digested samples in -20C freezer overnight.
Gene 10x Buffer BSA Protein H20 DNA RE 1 RE 2
Promoter/LAMBDAcI 5.0uL 0.5uL 22.5uL 20.0uL 1.0uL, EcorI 1.0uL, PstI
LAMBDAcI/Terminator 5.0uL 0.5uL 20.0uL 20.0uL 1.0uL, EcorI 1.0uL, PstI
Base Vector 5.0uL 0.5uL 15.0uL 15.0uL 1.0uL, EcorI 1.0uL, PstI
NOTE: RE = Restriction Enzyme


4. Make/Pour Ampicillin Plates
5. Order Primers for Part Sequencing
6. Purified Plasmid Prep: Purified MCherry, Promoter, Terminator and Base Vector because sequencing results were poor.
