Restriction enzymes cut DNA at a specific nucleotide sequence‚ known as a restriction site. Restriction sites are places where DNA has specific nucleotide sequences. A restriction fragment is a fragment from a DNA strand that is cut by an enzyme. Gel electrophoresis a used to separate and analyze DNA and RNA and the fragments they have. Sticky end is a single stranded end and the sticky end can make hydrogen bond base

Figure 1: Affinity chromatography of fumarase with the Ni2+-NTA-agarose column. Extract (9.9 mL) containing yeast (3.76g) in extraction buffer containing 0.1% Igapel CA-630 and protease inhibitors were pumped through Ni2+-NTA-agarose column. Fractions were collected by 1.5 mL portions by use of wash buffer (20.0 mL)‚ imidazole elution buffer (26.3 mL)‚ and wash buffer (10.0 mL)‚ again. Absorption readings were taken for all fractions with a Cary50 set at 280nm. The fumarase activity was determined

Calvin Williams Chapter 20 1. Advances in recombinant DNA technology allow scientists to work with smaller fragments of DNA‚ give them more tools to dissect and analyze DNA‚ and also allow for them to make many copies of a strand of DNA. 2. Restriction enzymes are made by bacteria to cut up invading DNA. They target specific base sequences in the DNA and then work to cut out those sequences from the DNA. 3. When a restriction enzyme cuts out a portion of DNA‚ it will sometimes leave a sticky

1. Introduction Since the discovery of plasmid‚ various methods have been developed to isolate plasmid DNA. All the methods have one common and important target of isolating plasmid DNA of high quality and quantity in less time. These methods are not completely safe because of use of toxic chemicals compounds. The developed protocol for plasmid extraction is based on the alkaline lysis method of plasmid preparation (extraction at pH 8.0) with slight modifications. Cell lysis reagent sodium dodecyl

Title: Cloning of Enhancer of Zeste Homolog 2 in forward orientation into Escherichia Coli using histidine-tagged pbluescript II KS+. Abstract Enhancer of Zeste Homolog 2 locus is intensely over expressed in breast and prostate cancer and it’s been established that its promoter inhibition by p53 has led to reduced cell proliferation and invasion (Bracken‚ 2003; Xiao‚ 2011). Objective is to clone a forward orientated EZH2 insert into a his-tagged pbluescript. Cloning EZH2 into a histidine-tagged

The role of salivary amylase in the digestion of starches remains controversial. In the absence of pancreatic amylase‚ the key enzyme for starch digestion‚ salivary amylase may well represent a potential compensatory alternate pathway for the digestion of amylose‚ amylopectin‚ and glycogen. Clinically significant depression of pancreatic amylase occurs in chronic pancreatitis‚ pancreatic resection‚ pancreatic neoplasm‚ cystic fibrosis‚ and other causes of pancreatic insufficiency.

the break allows DNA to rotate around the phosphodiester backbone which causes supercoils to be released. Supercoiled plasmid is more compact and sustains less resistance compared to open circular plasmid and therefore travels quicker in an agarose gel. Linear conformation is produced when a smaller fraction of the DNA sustains double-stranded breaks and it has less resistance than open-circular DNA‚ but more resistance than supercoiled DNA (Varsani

Introduction The purpose of this lab was to demonstrate the use of gene therapy on diseases that are caused by a single gene defect. This procedure was demonstrated on two different strains of baker’s yeast‚ EAY 235 and EAY 431‚ which both contained mutations in the LEU2 and TRP1 genes. Neither of these strains will grow without a proper medium that would supply both of these essential amino acids. The EAY 431 strain of yeast also contained a Rad 52 deletion‚ which caused EAY 431 to be a deficient

Growing up with a parent in the medical profession‚ I have seen at first-hand the diverse life of a doctor with its challenges and demands. Medicine is a career constantly changing and developing; as a course I will continue to utilise all I learn. My juvenile arthritis shows me the human body is complex and problems can so easily arise. A condition affects not only the patient‚ but the family and I can appreciate how rewarding being a doctor‚ with the capacity to help those in need‚ would be. Shadowing
