Site-Directed PCR Mutagenesis with Q5 MasterMix
Used 25uM Template DNA, annealed at 55C
Ran for min at 150V for 45 min
Both L218C reactions were successful.
Did not do a gel to confirm, proceeded to transformation.
Nanodrop Concentration
L218C -1 :
L218C -2 :
Diluted circularized product to 40 ng/uL, used 1uL DNA and 4uL MBG H2O for the first step.
Used 20uL JM109 cells
Only two colonies formed, so it was successful but barely. I will be continuing with this plate.
Unsuccessful in the opposite direction: excessive colony growth. I'm not sure why because I did the same 40ng/uL dilution on this DNA and also used 20 uL JM109 cells. I'm going to try diluting further to 20ng/uL and still use 20uL JM109.
No bacterial growth, indicates a proper sterile procedure.
Procedure Redo L218C-2
Diluted circularized product to 20 ng/uL, used 1uL DNA and 4uL MBG H2O for the first step.
Used 20uL JM109 cells
There was one small colony, indicating it was successful but just barely. I will use it and continue with SCI.
No colony growth, indicating a sterile procedure. The date on the plate is incorrect, this negative control was done with 7/22/2022 transformation.
Placed in the incubator at 4:57pm, will return tomorrow between 8-9am
Broth was cloudy, indicating colony growth and successful single colony inoculation

Both precipitated pellets, but L218C-2's pellet was too small for my taste. I added 1/10th total volume of sodium acetate buffer and let it sit overnight. Finished at 11:00 am 07/27/2022

L218C -1 : 2221.9ng/uL
L218C - 2 : 1783.8ng/uL
Gel Analysis Lanes 4, 5
L218C - 2 was successfully sequenced
L218C - 1 was not successful, I don't know what happened
