1. PREPARATION OF PLASMID DNA
Supervision of:

2. What do we need DNA for?
â˘Detect, enumerate, clone genes
â˘Detect, enumerate species
â˘Detect/sequence specific DNA regions
â˘Create new DNA âconstructsâ (recombinant DNA)
4. Plasmids: vehicles of recombinant DNA
Bacterial cell
genomic DNA plasmids
Non-chromosomal DNA
Replication: independent of the chromosome
Many copies per cell
Easy to isolate
Easy to manipulate
6. Plasmid purification: alkaline lysis
Alkaline
conditions
denature DNA
Neutralize:
genomic DNA
canât renature
(plasmids CAN
because they
never fully
separate)
7. DNA purification: silica binding
Binding occurs in presence of high salt
concentration, and is disrupted by elution with
water
8. DNA purification: phenol/chloroform extraction
1:1 phenol : chloroform
or
25:24:1 phenol : chloroform : isoamyl alcohol
Phenol: denatures proteins, precipitates form at
interface between aqueous and organic layer
Chloroform: increases density of organic layer
Isoamyl alcohol: prevents foaming
9. 1. Aqueous volume (at least 200 microliters)
2. Add 2 volumes of phenol:chloroform, mix well
3. Spin in centrifuge, move aqueous phase to a new tube
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until there is no precipitate at phase interface
5. (extract aqueous layer with 2 volumes of chloroform)
Phenol extraction
10. cell harvest and lysis
DNA purification
DNA purification: overview
[Used
enzymes
(lysozyme)
reagents for
bacterial
cell lysis]
DNA purification
through âColumn
Chromatographyâ
& âOrganic
Extractionâ
14. Agarose
⢠Alternating sugar units
form linear chains
⢠Cross-linking chains via
hydrogen bonds forms
porous matrix
⢠Heat breaks matrix apart
⢠Cooling forms a matrix
with an âaverageâ pore
size

15. Gel Electrophoresis
Prepare agarose gel
Melt, cool and add Ethidium Bromide. Mix thoroughly.
Add running buffer, load samples and marker
Run gel at constant voltage until band separation occurs
Pour into casting tray with comb and allow to solidify
