to inhibit expression u could try tuner or rosetta cells (these are from novagen other companies have different ones) they contain an extra plasmid for expression of the pet-blue which lacks the T7 thingy. Though rosetta is also a rare codon cell strain so maybe tuner is the first to start with.

yes its read 3' to 5' but u can say the replication is done 5' to 3' if u refer (spelling) to the new strand (its growing 5' to 3')

hope it helps and im hoping im not wrong about it

its hard to know where to start without seeing the gene. the forward primer should be located in the beginning and the reverse in te end of the gene. thats pretty much it. Its hard to say anything but that right know since I dont know what u are going to do with it, are u having primers with a restr...

one thing that may be worth looking at is the codon usage, see if u have many rare codons.

I my self thought it to be safe to store proteins in a freezer, but then my friend told me about his protein. Also there are something called cold denaturation.

there are plasmids about 1 kb, but I dont know if its a minimum for it to circularize

you might have too incorporate a trombin site to if u want to be able to cut the his tag away. I have thought of this too when I had problems, why do u want the his-tag on your primers, is it just an idea?

inclusion bodies are insoluble proteins aggregates (not soluble in "water"), the protein forms aggregates when expressed (some proteins have a hydrofobic core but when they arent correctly folded, the core is exposed and can bond through non hydrophobic bonds with other non folded proteins...

I know that a friend of mine happened to denaturate his protein when he tried to store it in a freezer, however it dont apply to all proteins. Taq polymerase for instanse is stored below zero, it comes from a heat resistent bacteria. Its hard to say if yours will denaturate.

here, save it and open it in words, sunno if there is a better program.

yes I cant see any wrong with your answer except the S.

I havent found it written as u got in this assignment, CH2CH2CO...
only as structural forms so I cant answer that question for sure.

well eh no... I dont have this completly fresh but, havent u forgotten the 16 carbons? you said u were given CH3(CH2)11CH2...... was that all, that doesnt do much except making me not understanding why its given. oh now I understand, u were going to draw the rest of the molecule....bing bing the coi...
