Overview

Cloning HPK-CFP part (from KAH184) in front of EM7:ZeoR in v0120 vector. Also performing PCR on HA2 fragment to add BioBrick restriction sites.

KAH184 plasmid is at 220 ng/µL. EM7:ZeoR_v0120 plasmid is at 629 ng/µL.

Restriction Digest

Reagent KAH184 EM7:ZeoR
plasmid 15 5
FD 10x buffer 3 3
EcoRI 1 1
SpeI 1 0
XabaI 0 1
water 10 20

Incubate at 37 °C for 10 minutes.

Gel Extraction

ladder - CFP - zeoR

HPK-CFP part: take the ~2200bp fragment.

EM7-ZeoR part: large fragment (~3600bp).

DNA Quantification

EM7:ZeoR_v0120 - 18 ng/µL

HPK:CFP - 17 ng/µL

NOTE: 260/280 for HPK:CFP part was measured at 4. Ran a spectrophotometric scan on the sample and there's no peak at 260 or 280 - probably very little DNA present in the sample. If transformation fails, this is most likely culprit.
