Ligation:
Ligation is the method for the joining of nucleic acid fragments throught the action of enzyme.
Protocol
Set up the following reaction in a microcentrifuge tube on ice. (T4 DNA Ligase should be added last. Note that the table shows a ligation using a molar ratio of 1:3 vector to insert.) COMPONENT 20 μl REACTION
- 10X T4 DNA Ligase Buffer* 2 μl
- Vector DNA (3 kb) 50 ng (0.025 pmol)
- Insert DNA (1 kb) 50 ng (0.076 pmol)
- Nuclease-free water to 20 μl
- T4 DNA Ligase 1 μl
Gently mix the reaction by pipetting up and down and microfuge briefly. For cohesive (sticky) ends, incubate at 16°C overnight or room temperature for 10 minutes. For blunt ends or single base overhangs, incubate at 16°C overnight or room temperature for 2 hours (alternatively, high concentration T4 DNA Ligase can be used in a 10 minute ligation). Chill on ice and transform 1-5 μl of the reaction into 50 μl competent cells.
