Restriction enzyme digestion
Digestions (cutting plasmid DNA) were performed at the appropriate temperature with the appropriate buffer in the appropriate concentration, according to the supplier. Restriction enzymes we use are: EcoRI, XbaI, SpeI, PstI
Reaction for one sample:
DNA | x μL (up to 1,0 μg) |
Buffer (10x) | 2,0 μL (for 1×) |
Restriction enzymes | x μL (5 units/μg DNA = 0.5 µL) |
H2O | × μL |
Incubate for (at least) one hour at 37 °C. Inactivate the restriction endonucleases by heat, incubation at 80 °C for 10 minutes and centrifuge shortly.
Used Buffers:
Buffer H (Roche): 0.5 M Tris-HCl, 1 M NaCl, 100 mM MgCl2, 10 mM DTE, pH 7.5
