Lidstrom:Digestion with Restriction Enzymes

Back to Protocols

Recipe

• Try it quick and imprecise like iGEM 2011 UW recommends:
  • 10 uL DNA
  • 5uL buffer (check http://www.neb.com/nebecomm/EnzymeFinderSearchByName.asp for a list of enzymes and associated buffers)
  • 0.5 uL BSA (if required. See above)
  • 1uL enzyme 1
  • water to 50 uL (32.5 uL, add first)
  • If two enzymes are required, check http://www.neb.com/nebecomm/DoubleDigestCalculator.asp for buffer, temperature, BSA specifications.

• If using BioBrick or BglBrick enzymes, chose your buffer based on Janet's notes.
