(In the Lab: JV, AS)
Objective: Test Restriction Endonucleases for Activity
Relevant Information:
Endonucleases available

Endonuclease	Optimal Buffer(**)	Other Buffers
EcoRV	None	2xT(100%); O,G(50-100%)
EcoRI	Red	O(100%);R(100%)(*);2xT(100%)
BcuI/SpeI	Tango	B(50-100%);G(50-100%)
XbaI	Tango	B,G,2xT(50-100%)
PstI	Orange	R(100%); B,G,T,2xT(50-100%)
DpnI	Tango	B,G(100%): O,R,2xT(50-100%)

(*)Star Activity
(**)Optimal Buffer from Fermentas

Use pUC19 plasmid as test, it has cut sites for EcoRI, PstI, XbaI (unsure about BcuI/SpeI, DpnI but will try anyways), and none for EcoRV
Red Buffer: EcoRI, PstI, Control (No Enzyme)
Tango Buffer: BcuI/SpeI, XbaI, DpnI, Control (No Enzyme>

Methods: Set up Master Mixes:

Red MM	per tube (µL)	Total (µL)
MilliQ H20	13.75	55
Red Buffer (10x)	2	7
pUC19 (10pg/µL)	2	7
Total	19.75	69

Tango MM	per tube (µL)	Total (µL)
MilliQ H20	13.75	55
Tango Buffer (10x)	2	7
pUC19 (10pg/µL)	2	7
Total	19.75	69

To each tube, add 19.75µL of master mix and 0.25µL of enzyme
Incubated reaction mixes at 37^oC (Start:7:00pm; End:7:45pm)
Add 3.3µL of 6x loading dye to each reaction mixture and load 10µL final volume onto a 1% agarose (in TAE) gel.
Add 1µL of 6x loading dye to 1µL of GeneRuler 1kb ladder (at 0.5µg/µL)
Gel loading order as follows:

Lane	Sample
1	1kb Ladder
2	Tango Control
3	DpnI (Tango)
4	BcuI/SpeI (Tango)
5	XbaI (Tango)
6	EcoRI (Red)
7	PstI (Red)
8	Red Control
9	Empty
10	Empty

Ran gel at 100V for 1 hour

Results: pUC19 plasmid DNA not present at a high enough concentration to visualize by ethidium bromide staining (1kb ladder did stain).

Conclusion: Will have to re-run experiment with DNA that is present at high enough concentrations to visualize by ethidium bromide staining
