2. Q3(3pt) Given the following protein:
MNGTEGPNFYVPFSNKTGVVRSPFEAPQYYLAEPWQFSMLAAYMFLLIML *
* = STOP
You want to PCR up this conserved protein from an unknown species.
-Design a fully degenerate oligo to the underlined Nt amino acids and include an
extra EcoR1 site (GAATTC) at the 5’ end. This is a top strand oligo.
-Design a fully degenerate oligo to the underlined Ct amino acids and include an
extra BamHI site (GGATCC) at the 5’ end. This is a bottom strand oligo.
Write both oligos 5’ to 3’.
Make sure to annotate 5’ and 3’ ends of your two oligos.
