- Restriction Digest of Plasmid DNA
Restriction Digest
1. 60ml of 1x-TAE
2. 6 grams Argarose (Low EEO)
3. Restriction Enzymes: EcoRi and PSTL
4. Buffer: FD Green Buffer
5. 6.0μL of DNA cell stain
6. 5.0μLof plasmid DNA
7. 6.5μL of H2O
- Chose the following plasmid DNA: BD003, BD004, BD005, BD006
- We know that the length of BD005 is 2422 bp
- DPRE also known as D11.12 is 1740bp
- We assume that BD006 must have the D11.12 construct. If this is so, the length of BD006 would be 4126bp
Results:
- BD005 and BD006 seemed to be the same length.
- This could mean that BD006 could be the same plasmid DNA
- May need to perform new restriction digest.
- Buffer may have been too diluted. However, this couldn't effect the outcome of size.
