Parts to Make:
HixL: TTCTGGAAAA CCAAGGTTTT TGATAA
HixR: TTATCAAAAA CCTTCCAAAA GGAAAA
HixC: TTATCAAAAA CCATGGTTTT TGATAA
HixC1: TTCTGGAAAACC AT CCAAAAGGAAAA
Steps
1. Design/Order DNA – Hix L, R, & C
- Want to do a Left to Right BioB addition: Promoter + RBS w/AmpR -->Hix site-->
Term-->Hix(C)site-->TetR + Term
2. On receiving – restrict/ligate BioBricks into plasmid w/resistance gene on one side
a. Promoter, RBS BioB
b. TetR BioB (Backwards)
c. Term BioB
3. Transform E. coli
E = G/AATC
X = T/CTAGA
P = CGAT/CG
S = A/CTAGT
hix BioBricks
