BioBrick Assembly
Goal
Once you have your constructions on your plasmids, you need to biobrick them before sending them to the registry.
Preparation
Restriction
For restriction you need: distilled water, Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA, used to stabilize restriction enzymes), Restriction Buffer 1,2,3 or 4 (buffer 2 works for all combinations of EcoRI-HF, XbaI, PstI, SpeI), two restriction enzymes per sample.
Determine which restrictions enzymes and Buffer you need using openwetware.org1.
Determine the DNA-concentration of the vector and the insert.
Prepare restriction mix for all restrictions,for each reaction add:
- 12,5 μl od distilled water
- 5,0 μl of Buffer 1,2,3 or 4
- 0,5 μl of BSA
- 1,0 μl of restriction restriction enzyme 1
- 1,0 μl of restriction restriction enzyme 2
Then, for each reaction,add:
- 20 μl restriction mix previously prepared to a PCR-tube
- 1 μg of DNA.
- Distilled water, until your reach a total volume of 50 μl
PCR Purification
Purify the restriction digest, and then determine the concentration of the purified DNA with Nanodrop.
For more information, see the PCR purification protocole.
Ligation
Prepare ligation mix.Prepare two extra reactions, “No insert” and “No ligase” that will be used as negative controls.
Per vector/insert | No insert | No ligase | |
---|---|---|---|
Ligase | 0,5 μL | 0,5 μL | 0 |
Vector | |||
Insert | 0 μL | ||
Distilled water | |||
10X Buffer | 2 μL | 2 μL | 2 μL |
