Bugbuster Lysis Synthesis Lab Report
The experiment consists of 5 steps—Inoculation, fermentation, cell lysis, inclusion body solubilization, and peptide purification. In the first two steps, E coli with Snake 6 peptides is cultivated. Ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy (UV-vis) is used to quantify bacteria through detection of their optical density (O.D.). After reaching a certain concentration in the fermentation batch, inclusion bodies (IBs) are extracted from these E coli by adding Bugbuster lysis solution and lysozyme. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) is carried out to test the existence of IBs. Afterward, IBs are dissolved in 8M urea and poured into IMAC chromatography in peptide purification step. Optimization of each step is tested throughout the experiment. Table 7 below shows the experimental matrix for the experiment. …show more content…
with Snake 6 would be obtained from Dr. Claire Komives. Media in the fermentation shown in Table 2 and all chemical solutions would be obtained from San Jose State University (SJSU). Glucose meter would be used to detect glucose concentration. The incubator would be used for inoculation. Bugbuster lysis solution, lysozyme, urea, and other chemicals would also retrieved from SJSU. Centrifugation would be carried out through RC-5B Refrigerated Superspeed Centrifuge. In chromatography, IMAC column would be used for peptide purification. UV-vis and SDS-PAGE would be our analytical tools. All equipment would be provided by

    Erlenmeyer Synthesis

    In the second separation of this experiment, the Erlenmeyer flask with the first filtrate was put into a beaker so the filtrate was in the beaker. The beaker was then heated on a hotplate until near boiling. After the whey protein had precipitated, a vacuum filter was used to filter out the whey. These proteins were then air-dried. A qualitative test was done to indicate that the sample extracted was the protein whey. Again, a small test tube was used and 2 mL of protein test solution was put in the tube. Five drops of 10% NaOH and 2 drops of 0.5% CuSO4 were added to this tube. If a purple color showed, it would indicate there was protein in the test tube.…

    Anti-Cow Serum Lab Report

    Western Blot is a common used technique to identify and analyze proteins according to their ability to bind to a specific antibody. It is an analytical method that protein sample was first separate based on the molecular weight using the SDS- PAGE method, and then transferred on the nitrocellulose. The specific primary enzymes labeled antibody was used to detect the transferred protein. Antibodies bind to specific sequences of amino acids, and can recognize specific proteins among a group of many because the amino acid sequences are different from protein to protein (#3…

    Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) is a commonly used method for separating proteins. Both SDS-PAGE and Simple-PAGE gels were prepared. The resolving layers for the SDS-PAGE and Simple-PAGE gels were prepared with 3.25mL water, 2.0mL 4X resolving buffer, 2.7mL 40% acrylamide solution, 80μL 10% APS, and 3μL TEMED. The stacking layers for the SDS-PAGE and Simple-PAGE gels were prepared with 4.6mL water, 2.0mL 4X stacking buffer, 1.3mL 40% acrylamide solution, 48μL 10% APS, and 5μL TEMED. The SDS-PAGE gel used the buffers containing SDS and the Simple-PAGE gels used the buffers without SDS.…

    3. Once centrifuged, the supernatant is to be removed and labeled accordingly in a separate vessel. Supernatant is the liquid above the sediment after a solution has been run through a centrifuge. The now centrifuged solution should be ran through a device that achieves column chromatography, such as an automated fraction collector. These devices sort a solution based on particle size. Other methods to extract proteins (which can be many different…
