Restriction Enzyme Digestion
protocol description
Theory
How it works
Practice
- Master mix preparation
- 2.0μl of DNA
- 0.5μl of each restriction enzyme (or the respective amount of water for the control with uncut plasmids)
- 0.1μl of BSA - acetylated Bovine Serum Albumin enhances the performance of restriction enzymes
- 5.9μl of water
- 1.0μl of 2×NEBuffer
- Check for the compatibility of restriction enzymes chosen
To check if the two selected restriction enzymes can perform effective catalysis in the same solution, go to the website of [http://www.neb.com New England Biolabs] → select [http://www.neb.com/nebecomm/DoubleDigestCalculator.asp? Double Digest Finder] → choose which restriction enzymes you want to use → follow the digest recommendations.
- Procedure
- incubate at 37°C for 2 hours
- perform gel electrophoresis (10μl of DNA-restriction enzyme mixture in each well)
- compare with predicted fragment sizes
Safety
The safety implication of the procedure.
