Laboratory Project: Mark achieved: 2.1
My third year laboratory project involved investigating McrC which makes up part of the restriction
enzyme McrBC. The main aims of the project were to over express, characterise and purify the gene
product of McrC. This was achieved by transforming a Strain of E.coli BL21 (DE3) with a plasmid
pET14b containing the mcrC gene under the control of a promoter system which was inducible by

2. IPTG.
The main techniques and procedures used throughout the project were transformations, primary and
secondary culture preparation, SDS-PAGE, In-gel tryptic digestion of proteins, mass spectrometry
and purification of the protein using Ni-NTA Sepharose chromatography.
