James Choi MCB 251 Digestion Analysis Procedure : 1. Obtain a gel electrophoresis chamber, a casting tray, and an agarose gel (with the wells facing the negative end). Fill the chamber with a buffer so that it is above the gel and covering the wells. 2. Obtain the DNA restriction enzyme made last week. 3. Add 10 uL of 5x blue to each microfuge tube, and pipette gently to thoroughly mix. 4. Using a P20 micropipette, insert them into the gel using the following measurements. a. Lane #1 (10 uL): DNA ladder b. Lane #2 (15 uL): EcoRV (E) c. Lane #3 (15 uL): PstI (P) d. Lane #4 (15 uL): EcoRI + PstI (EP) e. Lane #5 (15 uL): Undigested (C) f. Lane #6 (15uL): BamHI (B) g. Lane #7 (2 uL): DNA ladder 5. Set the P20 to 10uL and carefully add the ladder, then after changing tips set the P20 to 15uL and add each DNA sample. Be careful not to puncture the gel. 6. Remain other wells empty. 7. Place the lid onto the gel electrophoresis chamber, and plug in the electrodes to the power box. Before applying the current, wait for all the lab groups. 8. Run the gel at 100V for 90 minutes, or until the bands are halfway across the gel. Check for bubbles in the buffer. 9. Once the process is complete, cut the power, remove the electrodes, and obtain a casting tray with gel.
10. Bring it to the UV transilluminator. 11. Gently slide it off the tray into the box and make sure the lamps are off. 12. Close the machine and capture an image of the gel, which should be fluoresced due to the UV lamps lighting the ethidium bromide. Data/Results: The result of our gel electrophoresis was unclear due to the lack of band size. This might be caused by the low quantity of the sample. Therefore, we are going to use demo gel for pBR322 digestion. Demo gel for the pBR322
For Demo gel, each lane contains: - Lane #1: Ladder - Lane #2: BamHI - Lane #3: EcoRI - Lane #6: EcoRI + PstI - Lane #7: PstI Lane 1: Ladder (Standard) Lane 2: BamHI Distant traveled (mm) Base Pairs (kb) 28.5 4.3 Lane 3: EcoRI Distant traveled (mm) Base Pairs (kb) 28 4.5 Distant traveled (mm) Base Pairs (kb) 20 10.0 22 8.0 24.5 6.0 26.5 5.0 29 4.0 34 3.0 40.5 2.0 46 1.5 55 1.0 68 0.5
