Restriction digestion

To cut DNA at specific base sequences using restriction enzymes

Procedures

  1. Make up 20 µl reaction mix as follows:
  • 15 µl of DNA/plasmid
  • 1 µl of restriction enzyme 1
  • 1 µl of restriction enzyme 2
  • 2 µl of 10X buffer
  • 1 µl of water
  1. 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
