Revision as of 17:55, 9 September 2010

Materials

You will need:

Sterilized milliQ water
BSA
NEB buffers 1,2,3,and/or 4 (see extra notes)
Miniprepped sample or plasmid you wish to cut
NEB digestion enzymes (EcoRI, SpeI, PstI, NheI, and/or XbaI)

Extra Notes

Be sure to use the buffer that maximizes the compatibility of the enzyme activity between the two enzymes.

Enzyme	Buffer 1	Buffer 2	Buffer 3	Buffer 4
EcoRI	100	100	100	100
SpeI	75	100	25	100
PstI	75	75	100	50
NheI	100	100	10	100
XbaI	0	100	75	100

Procedure

1. Add the following into a PCR tube

22μL of milliQ water
1μL BSA
5μL buffer x (see extra notes)
20μL template to be cut
1μL digestion enzyme 1
1μL digestion enzyme 2

2. Run in a machine

37°C for 3 hours
80°C for 20 minutes
Keep at 4°C if to be stored

Purpose

To cut DNA at the designated places; cut out the insert from the plasmid.
