Introduction
The analysis of DNA frequently requires determining the size of individual DNA molecules. Under most
conditions, DNA has a relatively uniform acidic or negative charge caused by the phosphate groups on its
outer surface. When placed in an electric field during electrophoresis, negatively charged molecules such
as DNA migrate toward the positive electrode. In a semisolid matrix like an agarose gel, larger DNA
molecules are retarded by the sieving properties of the matrix, so they move more slowly and migrate a
shorter distance jo a giyen time than smaller DNA molecules. The migration rate of DNA molecules is
inversely proportional to their molecular weights. (Agarose is a purified form of agar, a complex
polysaccharide derived from seaweed.)
You will be performing restriction enzyme digests of your plasmid DNA samples and analyzing them on an
agarose gel. Restriction endonudleases are enzymes that recognize, bind to and deave DNA at
specific nudeotide sequences. Approximately 300 different restriction enzymes are currently commercially
available. Restriction enzymes occur naturally in all bacteria and are used to protect the bacteria from
invading foreign DNA (e.g. a virus) by digesting the foreign DNA at a specific recognition sequence. Most
enzymes recognize a 6-base pair (bp) sequence. The specificity of restriction enzymes makes them very
useful tools in manipulating and cloning DNA molecules.
In this experiment, you will be digesting your samples with the enzymes Ndel HindII, and Pvul.
The recognition site for Ndel is 5'-CA/TATA G-3', the site for Hind is 5'-A/AGCTT-3' and the site for
Puul is 5-CGAT/CG-3'. The enzymatic activity of restriction enzymes is measured in units of their
activity. This activity varies between enzymes depending on their purification, source, and concentration
of the protein. The activity of a restriction enzyme is defined as its ability to cut DNA. Therefore, the
definition of one unit (U) of restriction enzyme activity is:
"The amount of restriction enzyme needed to completely digest (cut) one microgram (ug) of substrate
DNA in one hour at the optimum temperature of the enzyme (usually 37 °C) in a 50 pl reaction volume."
This definition is important and useful in calculating the amount of enzyme required to successfully
complete a given restriction digest. One must use the appropriate number of units of a specific enzyme in.
order.to completely digest the sample. It is also important to note that an excess of enzyme may result in
non-specific or incomplete digestion of DNA. This is partly due to the glycerol used to stabilize the
enzyme; therefore, the total amount of all enzymes used in the digest should never be more than 10%
the total volume of the digest (e.n. 2 pl in 20 µL). On the other hand, impurities in the DNA sample may
inhibit digestion. Usually up to a 10-fold excess of each restriction enzyme is used to digest plasmid mini-
prep DNA.
DNA size standards must be run on every gel that you wish to measure DNA fragment size. The size
standards can be marker DNA composed of a one kilobase "ladder", a 100-bp ladder or a lambda (A) DNA
digest (HinduL EcaRI or HindiItEcoRD(See photographs below; NEB.) The complete sequence of
marker DNA s is known, and the sizes of DNA fragments have been precisely determined. This DNA is
commercially available and is relatively inexpensive. The bands of DNA are visualized by staining either
with the dye ethidium bromide* or the dye SybrSafe" which intercalate with DNA. When placed under
a UV light source, the DNA samples will fluoresce. This signal can be detected by film and/or suitable
imaging devices.
