Pre
- (optional) Determine plasmid concentration via A260 measurements or by comparing intensities of bands on gel with those of the ladder DNA (whose masses are known).
Restricting
- To an eppendorf tube, add:
- Appropriate volume of plasmid for a total of approx. 700 ng DNA (usually, if plasmid prep is good, this will be 2 μL (i.e. ~350 ng/ μL)).
- 1 μL of appropriate 10X concentration buffer (to determine correct buffer check compatibility of restriction buffers using NEB catalogue or going online to NEB.com [1])
- If necessary (i.e. check NEB), add 1 μL 10X concentration BSA
- BSA~bovine serum albumin
- [x] μL of dH2O to make the total reaction volume in tube of 10 μL.
- Chosen restriction enzymes. They are at a high enough concentration that 0.5 μL of each is more than sufficient for a restriction digest. ALWAYS ADD THESE LAST (and work quickly), in order to minimize time out of the freezer. Keep these enzymes in their low-temp blue carrying case when out of the freezer.
- (Gingerly) flick tubes, and spin down in microcentrifuge for a second
- Incubate at 37°C (in water bath or warm room) for 1-4 hrs. (1-2 hrs. optimal)
- (Under review)...treat any vectors w/0.2 μL CIP and incubate for 30 min at 37°C with rest of restrictions
