- 10x T4 Ligation buffer
- T4 Ligase
- Insert
- Vector
Reaction mixture:
Component | 20µl | Final concentration |
---|---|---|
MilliQ water | up to 20µl | |
10 ligation buffer | 2µl | 1x |
Vector | xµl | 20-100ng |
Insert | xµl | 3:1 molar ratio over vector* |
T4 DNA ligase 5U/µl | 2µl | 0.5U/µl |
* When restricted PCR products are ligated together, a 1:1 molar ratio is used. All the reagents are added following the order listed in the table above.
After finishing the reaction mixture, the content is mixed and incubated at room temperature (~22°C) for 20 min.
