- You're purifying some plasmid DNA from a culture of bacteria and you want to know how pure it is. You measure the optical density at 260 nm and 280 nm and find the ratio is 2.0. You suspect there is RNA contamination in your preparation, so you treat your preparation with RNase. But the ratio is still 2.0. Protein assays tell you there is no protein in your solution, and no other biological molecules absorb light very efficiently at those wavelengths. What's the explanation?arrow_forwardThe Bacteria Escherichia coli DNA genome has a molecular mass of about 3.1 X 10° D. In your answers, show how you came up to each result? (a) How many base pairs does this bacterium contain? (b) How many full double-helical turns does this DNA contain? (c) How long is this DNA in µm?arrow_forwardConsider the experiment conducted by Meselson and Stahl in which they used 14N and 15N in cultures of E. coli and equilibrium density gradient centrifugation. Draw pictures to represent the bands produced by bacterial DNA in the centrifuge tube before the switch to medium containing 14N and after one, two, and three rounds of replication in that medium. Use separate sets of drawings to show the bands that would appear if replication were (a) semiconservative; (b) conservative; (c) dispersive.arrow_forward

If you randomly shear E. coli DNA into 1000 bp fragments and put it through density gradient equilibrium centrifugation, you will find that all the DNA bands at the same place in the gradient, and if you graph the distribution of DNA fragments in the gradient you will get a single peak (see below). If you perform the same experiment with binturong DNA, you will find that a small fraction of the DNA fragments band separately in the gradient (at a different density) and give rise to a small "satellite" peak on a graph of the distribution of DNA fragments in the gradient (see below). Why do these two DNA samples give different results, when they're both 50% G-C? 1b) If you denatured the random 1000 bp fragments of binturong DNA that you produced in question 1a by heating them to 95ºC, and then cooled them down to 60ºC…arrow_forwardThe Bacteria Escherichia coli DNA genome has a molecular mass of about 3.1 X 10 9 D.

- Quantification of DNA can be done by using a Nanodrop, a UV spectrophotometer, by measuring its absorbance in units of optical density (OD) (see “Nanodrop Microvolume Quantitation of Nucleic Acids" video in Lab 3 on Laulima). DNA absorbs light most strongly at the ultraviolet wavelength of 260 nm. The absorbance of double stranded DNA (dsDNA) at 260 nm (A260) is used to estimate concentration, with 1.0 OD equal to a dsDNA concentration of 50 µg/ml. Using this information we can calculate the concentration of dsDNA in our extractions using the following formula: dsDNA concentration = 50 µg/ml x OD260 x dilution factor Using the formula provided above, calculate the concentration of dsDNA in an extraction that was diluted 20X and had an A260 reading of 0.64 OD. Show your workarrow_forwardDuring gel electrophoresis, DNA molecules can easily be separated according to size because all DNA molecules have the same charge-to-mass ratio and the same shape (long rod).
