We used general protocols as well as our own protocols for testing our gene and gathering quantitative data. You can find all of them below.
General ProtocolsOur general protocols come from the Lab Protocol Manual from the 2016 University of Lethbridge Synthetic Biology Workshop 2016.
Below is a copy of our lab protocol manual:
Our mentor, Robert, helped us adapt the lipase assay from Gupta et. al..
