Parts BBa_K1041000 and BBa_J04450 were transformed into Alpha-Select competent ''E.Coli'' cells and plated onto LB Agar plates which contained the antibiotic ampicillin. Both plates have colonies that appear red under natural light ''Fig.1''. Therefore the addition of a NdeI site has not effected the ability for the RFP gene to be transcribed.

Team NRP-UEA_Norwich 2013

Team NRP-UEA_Norwich 2013 added an NdeI restriction site at the start of the RFP coding region of BBa_J04450 using mutagenesis. This was to allow either the promoter region or RFP gene to be excised and exchanged for a different promoter or gene and provide restriction sites for further cloning such as part Bba_K1041002.

Characterisation of this biobrick involved comparisons with the original Bba_J04450 biobrick by performing transformations, restriction digests and BLAST analysis. We also had our biobrick sequenced.

Transformation

Parts BBa_K1041000 and BBa_J04450 were transformed into Alpha-Select competent E.Coli cells and plated onto LB Agar plates which contained the antibiotic ampicillin. Both plates have colonies that appear red under natural light Fig.1. Therefore the addition of a NdeI site has not effected the ability for the RFP gene to be transcribed.

Restriction Digests

Parts Bba_K1041000 and Bba_J04450 were analysed by restriction digests and run on agarose gels. Both biobricks were cut with NdeI, Fig 2 and PvuII Fig 3.

Sequencing

The biobrick was sent off to a company for sequencing, Fig 3,4,5.The data we recieved back showed the DNA is of good quality.
