How to determine DNA template concentration (and amount)
- Find absorbance (OD) by:
- In a micro cell, pipette 50uL water
- BLANK at 260nm (remember to turn both vis & UV lamps on and wait 5 minutes)
- Pipette out 5uL water
- Pipette in 5uL DNA template
- Place micro cell in spectrophotometer & READ (remember light pathway for placement)
- Clean micro cell by washing with 2mL water followed by 2mL methanol/ethanol from wash bottles
- Go to DNA Concentration Calculator
"How to" for Vector NTI
How to create a new plasmid
- Open the Vector NTI Explorer program
- Click on the "New" icon
- Fill-in "Name"
- Under the "Sequence" tab, click on "Edit Sequence"
- Paste-in the sequence
- Select "OK"
- Double-click on newly created plasmid
How to create a gene in a plasmid
- Highlight the plasmid you would like edited
- Select "Edit" --> "New" --> "Add feature"
- Select the name of the plasmid
- Select "Save as"
How to change nucleotides
- Highlight bases to be changed
- Select "Edit" --> "New" --> "Replace"
- "Save As" a different name
