Protocol

Each reaction:

• 9 μL p7308 scaffold (44 nM)
• 16 μL oligo stock (250 nM)
• 4 μL 10x folding buffer (500 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 500 mM NaCl, 100 mM MgCl₂)
• 11 μL dH₂O

Folding conditions:

• start at 80[[:Category:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]], decrement 1[[:Category:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]] every 2 min. for 60 cycles.

Gel Analysis

• Run 2% agarose gel, supplemented to 10 mM MgCl₂
• Run in 1x TBE supplemented to 10 mM MgCl₂
