OUR TEAM Name: Jacob Licko Name: Stephen Belikoff Name: Khalil Khoury Name: Daniela Romero Name: Wei Lu LAB 4 WRITE-UP Protocol Materials Lab Coat and disposable gloves PCR reaction mix, 8 tubes, 50 μL each: Mix contains Taq DNA polymerase, MgCl2, and dNTP's (http://www.promega.com/resources/protocols/product-information-sheets/g/gotaq-colorless-master-mix-m714-protocol/) DNA/ primer mix, 8 tubes, 50 μL each: Each mix contains a different template DNA. All tubes have the same forward primer and reverse primer. A strip of empty PCR tubes Disposable pipette tips: only use each only once. Never re-use disposable pipette tips or samples will be cross-contaminated Cup for discarded tips Micropipettor Open PCR machine: shared by two groups PCR Reaction Sample List Tube Label PCR Reaction Sample Patient ID G5 + Positive control none G5 - Negative control none G5 1-1 Patient 1, replicate 1 59697 G5 1-2 Patient 1, replicate 2 59797 G5 1-3 Patient 1, replicate 3 59797 G5 2-1 Patient 2, replicate 1 79049 G5 2-2 Patient 2, replicate 2 79049 G5 2-3 Patient 2, replicate 3 79049 DNA Sample Set-up Procedure Step 1 Step 2 Step 3... OpenPCR program HEATED LID: 100°C INITIAL STEP: 95°C for 2 minutes NUMBER OF CYCLES: 35 Denature at 95°C for 30 seconds, Anneal at 57°C for 30 seconds, and Extend at 72°C for 30 seconds FINAL STEP: 72°C for 2 minutes FINAL HOLD: 4°C Research and Development PCR - The Underlying Technology Q1: What is the function of each component of a PCR reaction Q2: What happens to the components (listed above) during each step of thermal cycling? Q3: DNA is made up of four types of molecules called nucleotides, designated as A, T, C and G. Base-pairing, driven by hydrogen bonding, allows base pairs to stick together. Which base anneals to each base listed below?;;; Adenine (A): pairs with Thymine (T) Thymine (T): pairs with Adenine (A) Cytosine (C): pairs with Guanine (G) Guanine (G): pairs with Cytosine (C) Q4: During which two steps of thermal cycling does base-pairing occur? Explain your answers.
