Restriction digestion
To cut DNA at specific base sequences using restriction enzymes
Procedures
- Make up 30 µl reaction mix as according:
- 1 µl of restriction enzymes in total
- 3 µl of 10x buffer
- remainder is DNA/water
- Incubate at 37°C for 3 hours
Notes
- No more than 10% of enzyme - solution contains glycerol which inhibits reaction
- 10x buffer must be diluted to 1x i.e. 10% final volume
