Lab 8 Restriction Digestions
Biotechnology Using a restriction enzyme to cut DNA
Restriction Enzymes Sticky ends: EcoRI 5’-GAATTC-3’ G + AATTC 3’-CTTAAG-5’ CTTAA-5’ G PstI 5'-CTGCAG-3'CTGCA-3’ + G 3'-GACGTC-5‘ G 3‘-ACGTC Blunt ends: SmaI 5’-CCCGGG-3’ CCC + GGG 3’-GGGCCC-5’ GGG CCC
Restriction Digestion of a plasmid Vector=2.9 kb Insert= 1.1 kb EcoRI Total= 4.0 kb After digestion with EcoRI you will get: 1 fragment 2.9 kb + 1 fragment 1.1 kb in a electrophoresis run
Components of a restriction enzyme digestion reaction • DNA • Buffer • Enzyme • The volume of the reaction should be make up to the right volume with MilliQ (pure) water when necessary • Digestions are often performed in a 20 ul volume • Digestions are incubated at the optimum enzyme temperature (most of them, 37 C) • Manual: Pg. 86-90
