Miniprep of J04500
Played Jazz in the lab & miniprepped .2 mL J04500 as per the todo list left yesterday.

Notes: Eluted in H20

Left 4 miniprep tubes in our fridge. nanodrop results as follows: 1: 12.6 2: 13.2 3: 15.6 4: 14.2

The results are just about what we get every time.

Digests will follow later after dinner.

Anyone want to take a crack at the presentation for tomorrow while I do the digests? Or anyone want to do the digests and I'll take care of the presentation? Let me know.

Digestion of J04500 with X-P & S-P, KaiA/B/C with X-P
Performed the digests of the midiprepped KaiA/B/C and the miniprepped J04500 from earlier today. Ran two digests of each of the following: J04500 with X-P J04500 with S-P KaiA/B/C with X-P
