Protocols

Chemo-competent cells

pGEM Ligation

Ligation for TA-cloning of PCR products

Component Volume
2X Rapid Ligation Buffer 5 µl
pGEM vector 0.5 µl (25ng)
PCR product 3.5 µl
T4 DNA ligase 1 µl (3 Weiss units)

Mix all reagents in a 0.5 ml tube. Incubate reaction at 4°C over night.

Ligation

Ligation for digested parts and vectors

Component Volume
10X T4 DNA Ligase Buffer 1 µl
vector DNA 1 µl (20-100 ng)
insert DNA 5 µl (up to 5:1 molar ratio insert to vector)
T4 DNA ligase 1 µl (1 unit)
water 2.5 µl

Mix all reagents and incubate at 22°C for 1 hour.

Chemotransformation

Component Volume
chemo-competent E. coli 100 µl
plasmid DNA up to 10 µl (max. 1/10 of volume)
  1. Add plasmid DNA to cell culture.
  2. Incubate for 30 min on ice.
  3. Heat shock for 90 sec at 42°C.
  4. Add 900 µl LB.
  5. Let the bacteria grow at 37°C at least for 1 hour.
