E116C --> GAA,GAG --> UGU, UGC R334C --> CGU--->UGU or CGC-->UGC
R334C was already resuspended
Resuspended E116C to 100uM 6/6/2022
E116C_CFTR_mut_FOR1 -- added 262uL E116C_CFTR_mut_FOR1 -- added 281uL
Procedure- Site Directed PCR (with Q5 mix) and Dpn1
Diluted the 100uM stock solutions of both FOR and REV mutagenesis primers to 10uM
9.0 uL MBG H2O
1.0 uL CFTR_pGHE 7.7ng/uL (Freezer C, box 6)
1.25 uL E116C_CFTR_mut_FOR
1.25 uL E116C_CFTR_mut_REV
12.5 uL Q5 2X Master mix (Freezer C, box 12)
Annealed at 65C
Left in freezer A overnight, retrieved at 9:20am 6-7-2022
Dpn1 digest was performed, placed in the incubator 9:30am 6-7-2022
Gel was made 6-6-2022 and ran on 6-8-2022. It was stored in fridge A with a kimwipe over it.
PCR was a failure. I suspect it was due to the annealing temperature. I will repeat the procedure with an annealing temperature of 54C

1.25 uL E116C_CFTR_mut_REV
12.5 uL Q5 2X Master mix (Freezer C, box 12)
Annealed at 54C (2 degrees C lower than our lowest primer's melting point)
Ran a gel on PCR product and E116C+R104C Midiprep products.
No band was found for the PCR product, indicating that it had failed again. Third time should be a charm, so this time we are trying a different concentration of plasmid DNA: 25ng/uL CFTR_pGHE.

PCR was successful! We will be using the 25ng/uL CFTR template DNA from now on.
Added 1 µL of DpnI (Enzyme Rack, Freezer A) to the remaining PCR product and digest at 37°C overnight. Write DpnI on the side of the tube. If in a rush, you may add 1 µL of FD DpnI and digest at 37°C for two hours.
Nanodrop concentration: 885.43 ng/uL
Diluted circularized product to 40 ng/uL, used 1uL DNA and 4uL MBG H2O for the first step.
Used 20uL JM109 cells
Only one colony... successful but on thin ice. I am going to proceed and see how it goes.
No bacterial growth, indicates a proper sterile procedure.
Finished at 4:57 pm, will return between 8-9 am
Broth was cloudy, indicating colony growth and successful single colony inoculation
No colony growth, indicating a sterile procedure.
Removed from the incubator at 8:17am.
A very nice sized pellet formed, but I wanted to see if more would precipitate, so I added 1/10th total volume of sodium acetate buffer and will let it sit overnight. Finished at 11:00 am 7-27-22
Resuspended on
First pellet from maxiprep on 7/27/2022
Second pellet from ethanol precipitation on 7/28/2022
2515.4 ng/uL
Gel Analysis Lane 6
First failed due to early termination. I think I diluted the primer wrong.
