| | | |
- | <ol> | + | <p>We used a cloning strategy similar to the Standard Assembly 21, based on the compatible restriction sites BglII and BamHI. Briefly, a scar is obtained which translation results in the benefical amino acids glicine and serine (Figure 1). In contrast with the Standar Assembly 21, the XhoI site was replaced with a SpeI site, which allows us to use the Standard Assembly 10 backbones.</p> |

- | <li>Add plasmid DNA (100 ng) or ligation (up to 5 µL) depending on DNA concentration.</li>
| + | </table> |
- | <li>Use 1 µL of a 1 ng/µL DNA sample as positive test in a separate tube. It is recommended to use a DNA-free negative test tube as well.</li>
| + | |
- | <li>Chill the tube on ice for 20 - 30 minutes.</li>
| + | |
- | <li>Expose the reaction mixture to a 42ºC 1 minute heat-shock.</li>
| + | |
- | <li>Put the tube on ice for 2 minutes.</li>
| + | |
- | <li>Add 200 µL of antibiotic-free LB media.</li>
| + | |
- | <li>Incubate at 37ºC for 20 - 30 minutes.</li>
| + | |
- | <li>Spread the appropriate quantity of cells (50-200 µL) on selective LB agar plates.</li>
| + | |
- | <li>Incubate overnight at 37º C.</li>
| + | |
- | <li>The positive plate must have around 1,000 colonies as an optimal (1X10<sup>6</sup> transformants per µg supercoiled DNA).</li>
| + | |
- | </ol>
| + | |
- | <p>Notes:</p>
| + | |
- | <p>Until heat-shock, handle the tubes from the upper part to avoid warming the cells. Low temperature is critical for successful transformation.</p>
| + | |
- | <p>Avoid transforming with more than 5 µL of ligation mixture, as ligation buffer may reduce transformation efficiency.</p>

- | <li><p>DNA molecular size marker (λ <i>Pst</i>I): 2 - 3 μL</p></li>
| |
- | <li><p>Plasmid DNA: 2 - 3 μL</p></li>

| |
- | <li><p>PCR products: 5 μL</p></li>
| |
- | </ul>
| |
- |
| |
- | <p>Procedure:</p>
| |
- |
| |
- | <ol>
| |
- | <li>Prepare an agarose gel of the desired concentration (see Agarose gels section).</li>
| |
- | <li>Add the necessary SB 1X buffer into the electrophoresis tank to cover the gel.</li>
| |
- | <li>Load the first well with marker, and then load the DNA samples mixed with loading buffer into the wells.</li>
| |
- | <li>Plug in the anode and cathode cables so that the DNA samples can move through the gel toward the anode.</li>
| |
- | <li>Run the electrophoresis at 200 volts.</li>
| |
- | <li>Wait approximately 20 - 30 minutes or until the bromophenol blue reaches the end of the gel and stop the electrophoresis.</li>
| |
- | </ol>
| |
- | <p>Note: DNA moves toward the positive electric field (anode, usually red cable) due to the negative charges.</p>

- | <p>Procedure:</p>
| |
- | <ol>
| |
- | <li>Add the corresponding H<sub>2</sub>O to a sterile PCR tube.</li>
| |
- | <li>Add the rest of the components but the enzyme and DNA.</li>
| |
- | <li>Add the enzyme, mix gently.</li>
| |
- | <li>Add the respective DNA sample and mix gently.</li>
| |
- | <li>Spin the tube briefly.</li>
| |
- | <li>Place the sample in the thermocycler and start your PCR program.</li>
| |
- | </ol>
| |
- | <p>Notes:</p>
| |
- | <p>Put on gloves before taking the PCR mix components out of the freezer.</p>
| |
- | <p>DNA must be added at last because it may form complexes with Mg<sup>++ </sup>and inhibit the reaction.</p>
| |
- | <p>When possible, make a mix with all the common components to minimize enzyme waste.</p>
