pBAD Strong Mutations

 * To try and get more PCR product, will put in more DNA template and perform a step down PCR

PCR Mixture

 * 10ul 5X Phusion HF Buffer
 * 1uL 10mM dNTP mix
 * 27.4uL diH2O
 * 2.5uL of 10uM Positive Forward Primer
 * 2.5uL of 10uM Reverse Primer
 * 6.1uL of 1/2000 dilution pBAD DNA Template
 * Add 0.5uL DNA Polymerase just before starting the PCR

PCR Conditions - Lower Annealing Temperature

 * 98°C - 30sec
 * 98°C - 10sec
 * 60°C (-0.5°C every cycle) - 30 sec
 * 72°C - 60sec
 * Repeat steps 2-4 for 25 cycles
 * 72°C -10 min
 * 4°C - hold

Gel PCR Confirmation

 * Run a gel of 10uL of PCR product
 * Used standard gel conditions of 1% agarose, 0.5X TBE buffer, 1uL CYBR Safe, 100V, 1hour
 * A very faint band was seen on the gel


 * No PCR Product was seen on the gel
