Purpose

  • Protein was extracted from transfected BL21(DE3) E.coli cells and adenosine deaminase was purified via column chromatography.
  • Adenosine deaminase plasmid with the mutation E34K was transformed into BL21(DE3) E.coli cells with a second attempt.
  • UV-vis spectroscopy was used to analyze Au/Lysozyme solutions made on 2012/10/31 to measure absorbance of supernatant of Au/Lysozyme samples

Procedure for Protein Extraction and Purification from BL21(DE3) Cells

  • Frozen BL21(DE3) E.coli cells from 2012/11/04 were taken out from the freezer with gloves.
  • The frozen cells were placed into a 500mL beaker filled with ~30°C of warm tap water for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, cells are completely thawed and appeared in liquid form.
  • On ice bath, the cells were sonicated in three 1 minute intervals with three repeated cycles of procedures below:
    • Cells are sonicated under 8mV for 30 seconds with ______Sonicator.
    • Cells are immediately placed on ice for 30 seconds
  • After sanitation, the E.coli cells were transferred from a 25mL falcon tube into a 30mL centrifuge tube. Another 30mL centrifuge tube was filled with water with weight equal to the weight of 30mL centrifuge tube containing cellular sample.
