| ==Tips==
| |
| *Keep all buffers/enzymes on ice block for the entire process
| |
| *Do calculations based on fresh dna spec reading
| |
| *50 μL total volume
| |
| *need ~800ng DNA to cut!! (yes thats a lot)
| |
| *Digest your PCR insert and backbone separately
| |
| *Use Dpn1 ''only'' if you are cutting a PCR product
| |
| *Incubate at 37c for 2-4 hours and heat shock for 20 mins at 80c
| |
| *Don't forget!: do a purification and run a gel of digest ~before ligation
| |
|
| |
| ==Controls==
| |
| *Digest a control part in parallel to check that digest is working correctly
| |
| *Run cut, cleaned-up dna on a gel
| |
|
| |
| ==Steps==
| |
| #Add in order: (50μL little pcr-sized tube)
| |
| #*?? μL water to bring the total volume to 50μL
| |
| #*5 μL Buffer 2 (quick vortex first)
| |
| #*.5 μL BSA (quick vortex first)
| |
| #*?? μL DNA (whatever neccesary to get 800 ng -- good idea to do a fresh nanodrop of your sample and then make this calculation)
| |
| #*.5 μL Pst1 and .5 μL EcoR1 (for example)
| |
| #*.5 μL Dpn 1 (''only'' if digesting a PCR product)
| |
| #Incubate at 37c for 2 hours (1 minimum and 6 maximum)
| |
| #Heat shock for 20 mins at 80c to heat inactivate the enzyme, then store at 4c forever
| |
| #Do a purification (elute in 30μL) just like a pcr clean up
| |
| #Run a gel to check this step ~before moving on to ligation reaction
