Project invProject inolved expression of recombinant GFP in E. coli cells.
Perform PCR to amplify DNA sequence encoding GFP from the vector pE-GFP using suitable primers. Agarose gel electrophoresis for PCR product verification was conducted. Purification & ligation of GFP DNA into a pQE30 vector using BamHI and HindIII RE Purification of the digested GFP DNA insert and the cut PQE30 vector using promega SV mini-columns Transformed E. coli cells with ligated vector Page 3 of 4 Synthesis of GFP by lactose analogue isopropyl ß-D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG). Hexa-histidine tag expressed on protein facilitates its subsequent purification Hexahistidine-tagged GFP protein was be purified using IMAC (immobilised metal affinity chromatography) on nickel agarose. Samples was analysed by separating the proteins they contain using SDS-PAGE
