Participated in the InterLab study |
Proteins
Test Overexpressions
We conducted test overexpressions of our constructs in BL21 DE3 Gold, an E. coli strain capable of overexpressing T7 RNA polymerase by induction with IPTG.
Multi-Protein Purification
tRNA
tRNA Purification
Validation Construct
In vitro Transcription
To confirm our ability to detect successful transcription, the spinach aptamer was in vitro transcribed using T7 RNA polymerase (previously purified) and purified by phenol chloroform extraction. Following addition of the fluorophore, DFHBI, fluorescence was measured using a fluorimeter. The fluorimeter data illustrates that fluorescence was observed following addition of DFHBI, with an excitation of 447nm and emission of 497nm.
