what is the main purpose of induce E. coli to express a His6-tagged recombinant form of green fluorescent protein and then to purify rGFP using Ni2+-agarose

affinity chromatography?

Expert Solution

The green fluorescent protein is a recombinant protein which has the capacity of fluorescence. It is generally used in protein expression system to visually tag the expressed protein. The histidine tagging is used for the purification of the expressed recombinant protein. The six or more histidine residues will get fused to the N or C terminal of the protein.

For the purification using Ni2+ agarose affinity chromatography, the histidine tag will be readily bind to the transition metals like Ni2+ which is immobilized to the column resin. When the his tag rGFP pass through such Ni2+ affinity column, the protein will bind to it and will get eluted by using elution buffer for the purification.

Pretend you are trying to get E. coli to express a gene of interest. You plan to insert the gene into a plasmid, transform your plasmid into the bacteria, and verify your results with blue-white screening. Describe three things that you would need the plasmid to have (6 pts), what processes you would have to do to get a finished plasmid (2 pts), what results you expect to see (2 pts) and the cause of those results (2 pts).

Early in the year, Charles, Lane, and Tami form the Harrier Corporation for the express purpose of developing a shopping center. All parties are experienced contractors, and they transfer various business assets to Harrier in exchange for all of its stock. Three months after it is formed, Harrier purchases two cranes from Lane for their fair market value of $400,000 by issuing four annual installment notes of $100,000 each. Because the adjusted basis of the cranes is $550,000, Lane plans...
