Primers delivered. Dilution of new primers to 10 μL/mL. We didn`t phosphorylate our primers. You don't need phosphorylated primers for sticky end cloning. Use normal primers and the 5' phosphates will be there after restriction digest.
15.09
Successfull PCR of N-term beta-lactamase (N-lact), N-term intein (N-int) and unsuccessful PCR of BsmBI-dCas13a (N-dCas13a). Gel electrophoresis of N-lact and N-int, gel extraction.
16.09
PCR, gel electrophoresis and gel extraction of C-term beta-lactamase (C-lact).
17.09
PCR, gel electrophoresis and gel extraction of Bsm-dCas13a (C-dCas13a), N-dCas13a, C-lact.
23.09
PCR and gel electrophoresis of N-Cas, C-term-int (both successful) and C-Cas (unsuccessful). PCR (temperature gradient) and gel electrophoresis of C-Cas (55.4*C and 57.3*C successful).
24.09
Gel extraction of N-Cas and C-int.
27.09
Gel extraction of C-lact. PCR of N-lact (for intein+ and intein- assemblies) and C-lact. Synthesis of different primer for C-lact on Kilobaser (cause we had troubles with its ancestor)
28.09
PCR of C-lact (int-). Gel electrophoresis of N-lact (int+), N-lact (int-), C-lact (int+), C-lact (int-). All successful excluding C-lact (int-).
29.09
Gel extraction: C-lact (int+, N-lact (int+), N-lact (int-).

Golden Gate cloning into pGGAselect for N-dCas13a with N-lact and C-dCas13a with C-lact. Heat-shock transformation of produced plasmids into chemically competent E.coli TOP10 cells with chloramphenicol. Incubation of cell cultures at (16h 37*C and 52h 4*C and 37*C 3h and room temperature 24h).
