Digestion was incomplete and need to repeat experiment

Experiment was repeated on 8/9/14 and digestion was successful. The desire bands were excised and purified. Unfortunately the image file was lost due to a technical problem prior to routine file backup. However, further experiments continued to use parts isolated on this date and bands of correct size were present through all of these steps.
