Recipe
- Try it quick and imprecise like iGEM 2011 UW recommends:
- 10+ uL DNA (
- Want at least 500 ng. Can elute a miniprep in 38 uL of water and use that whole thing. Don't use miniprep DNA eluted in buffer; only use DNA eluted in water.
- 5uL buffer (check http://www.neb.com/nebecomm/EnzymeFinderSearchByName.asp for a list of enzymes and associated buffers)
- 0.5 uL BSA (if required. See above)
- 1uL enzyme 1
- water to 50 uL (32.5 uL, add first)
- If two enzymes are required, check http://www.neb.com/nebecomm/DoubleDigestCalculator.asp for buffer, temperature, BSA specifications.
- 10+ uL DNA (
- If using BioBrick or BglBrick enzymes, chose your buffer based on Janet's notes.
Temperature/Time
- 1 - 2 hours at 37oC or room temperature overnight
