==Primers==
The RBS to be used is B0030 and the PCR product is used. OsmY plasmid is opened with Spe and RBS is cut with Xba and Spe. Ligation between the 2 is performed but founfd to be unsatisfactory, with the OsmY self ligating too readily. RBS is now cut with just Xba as this leaves it being a relatively large piece so more likely to ligate. In addition purification can be carried out - any pieces which are re-circularised have no insert. Now the whole is cut with Spe and then ligated, hopefully circularising the plasmid. A further modification is to use decreasing temperature, from 42-35°C, to cause accurate annealing of the sticky ends.

OsmY RBS

OsmY was PCRed out of the biobricks which contained it - BBa_J45996 (A) , BBa_J45995 (B) and BBa_J45250 (C). The primers were designed to have the BioBrick prefix and suffix, but in addition to have RBSs of 3 different strengths (B0030, B0031 and B0032) included in the suffix. They were then cut with EcoRI and PstI and ligated into pSB4C5, which had been cut with the same enzymes. This was done at a 16:1 ratio of masses as OsmY is about 250bp and pSB4C5 is 4kbp. TOP10 cells were then transformed with the ligation product. The cells were then grown on chloramphenicol plates at 37°C and single colonies were then PCRed using standard BioBrick protocol.

Kdp

Kdp was PCRed out of the chromosome of MG1655. The primers were designed to have the BioBrick prefix and suffix. It was then cut with EcoRI and PstI and ligated into pSB4C5, which had been cut with the same enzyme. As Kdp is 4.4kb and the vector is 4kb approximatley the 1.1:1 ratio of mass was used (Kdp:pSB4C5). TOP10 cells were then transformed with the ligation product. The cells were then plated onto 35μg/mL chloramphenicol and grown at 37°C.

InFusion

InFusion primers were designed for both OsmY-RBS and KDP as well as the terminator containing plasmid B1002. These primers were designed to give the backbone with the terminator still attached.
