Digestion of TNFR + PGL
- Comments
Growth on all the plates ( about 20 colonies on ost plates and a single colony on the control plate). All miniprep colonies except SEAP1 + LS ( there wasn't a lot of growth, we used the 1:2 dilution)
Protocol used for the Mastermix :
- 5 µl Buffer N4 10x
- 5 µl BSA 10x
- 1 µl xbaI ( 20 u / µl )
- 5 µl DNA
- 34 µl H20
Protocol: Restriction site digestion
- Look for the best pair of restriction sites, ideally with similar digestion temperatures and times.
- [http://tools.neb.com/NEBcutter2/ NEBcutter] for finding cutting enzymes.
- [http://www.neb.com/nebecomm/DoubleDigestCalculator.asp Double Digest Finder] for the parameters.
- Calculate the amounts required of:
- DNA
- Buffer (usually from 10x to 1x)
- BSA, if needed (usually from 100x to 1x)
- Enzymes (depends on the amount of DNA)
- Water
- Get the recommended buffer (and BSA if needed) from the freezer and let defreeze.
- Mix all the ingredients, except DNA, in a tube.
- Note: Enzymes should stay no longer than a couple of minutes out of the freezer. Don't touch the bottom of the tubes! Don't vortex!
- Distribute the mix in as many tubes as DNA samples and add the DNA.
- Keep in the Thermomixer at the recommended temperature.
Sowmya's recommended amounts (50 µl total solution):
- 5 µl of 10x buffer
- 0.5 µl of 100x BSA
- 1 µl of each enzyme
- 5 µl of DNA
- 37.5 (up to 50 µl) of water.
Protocol based on what was done on July the 4th.

Re-verification of excised lovTap & PGL fragments with a single digestion. Digestion of PGL backbone with NOtI fragments generated 2922 and 1342 bp using small quantities of DNA.
quantities in each tube:
-5 µl buffer N2 10x -5 µl BSA 10x -5 µl DNA ( PGL backbone) -1µl Not1 -34 µl H20
quantities in each tube:
- 5µl buffer N2 10x - 5µl BSA 10x - 1µl Xba1 - 5µl DNA (excised LovTap - 34µl H20

- Comments
the TAE in the lab got sticky and contained unknown particles in it so it was useful to make a new mix.
