November 2, 2012 Digestion and PCR Planning
- Check LOV and H2B-GFP minipreps with digestion
- BioBrick PCR
Minipreps
Measure concentrations
| Sample
| 260/280
| ng/μL

| LOV
| 1.834
| 281.868

| H2B-GFP
| 1.87

Check miniprep results
- Use a plasmid editor software to check sequences for restriction digest enzymes
- LOV has two PstI sites while H2B-GFP has one PstI, one NotI, and two EcoRI sites
- Decide to cut LOV with PstI and H2B-GFP with PstI and EcoRI
- Expected bands for LOV at 251 with PstI digest
- Expected bands for H2B-GFP at 4885, 205 with Psti and EcoRI digest
| Reagent | LOV | H2B-GFP/ PstI | H2B-GFP/ EcoRI

Results
Expected: 1. LOV/PstI = 251 2. H2B-GFP/ PstI = 5101 3. H2B-GFP/ EcoRI = 4885, 210
