General notes

Key preparation:

  • Lots of wild-type inverse pericam plasmid (in the pRSET vector) must be available.


Daily Notes

Day 1

Materials required:

  1. None: all work today is computer work.

Day of Lab:

  • No quiz.
  • Primers for mutagenesis must be ordered right away!

Day 2

Materials required:

  1. Quick-Change SDM kit. ?1/2? reactions per student, plus 1 control reaction, plus spare reagents (ideally).
    • cat # 200519
    • e.g., for 12 pairs and 1 mutant per pair, two 10 rxn kits would suffice; for 12 pairs and 2 mutants per pair, 1 30 rxn. kit should suffice.
  2. sterile DI water
  3. LB+Amp plates (at least 30)
  4. autoclaved glass tubes (at least 50)
  5. LB broth, ampicillin
  6. competent XL1-Blue cells

Day of Lab:

  • Quiz (prepared by TA).
  • Guide journal article discussion (assign figures at beginning of class).
  • At end of day: transform mutant DNA, after digesting parental plasmid, into competent XL1-Blue cells.
