Rebuilding the Voigt construct
Voigt et al., 2006
• Amplification by PCR, digestion/ligation of PCR’d fragments • Pros
– Faster, more processive protocol– No overnight liquid cultures or transformations (until the end)– No gel isolation, just PCR purification– No colony PCR– PCR is better amplifier than bacteria– Can reconstitute unavailable subparts
• Cons– Can’t save intermediate constructs (except by cloning PCR products
into Topo vector)– Requires primer design and synthesis– Problems with identical/homologous BioBrick parts

Plans
• Explore AIDA construct– AIDA-streptavidin– AIDA-PDZ
• Make a new hisGFPmek?– Longer Mek tag, or longer linker
• Finish the Voigt construct by PCR/digest– Forever abandon traditional BioBricks protocol?
