Lab Sections
DNA Cloning
To express the various components of our scaffold for self-assembly experiments, our DNA constructs were cloned into plasmid vectors using Gibson assembly cloning methods. The products of the reaction were transformed into competent cells and colonies were screened for recombinant plasmids. 8 constructs were successfully cloned into corresponding pETDuet-1 and pRSFDuet-1 plasmids, while 6 constructs were cloned into pET-19b plasmids.
Protein Production
Components of the protein-enzyme scaffold must be expressed and purified for self-assembly and enzyme activity tests. Sequence-verified plasmids were transformed into Escherichia coli cells and expressed for recombinant protein production. 9 proteins were successfully expressed and purified, enabling the construction of our scaffold-enzyme complex..
