Term
Gel electrophoresis seperates via
Definition
charge but mostly SIZE
Term
Which side of gel does sample usually go into?
Definition
negative/cathode side
Term
Which samples travel furtherst/ and slowerst
Definition
Large= slow, travel the least
Small= fast, travel the most
Term
Southern blot-
Definition
seperates chunks of dna via size
Term
1st step of southern blot-
Definition
suspect/sample dna is cleaved into small pieces via endonucleases hydrolyzing the phosphodiester bonds.
Term
Marker is ran in the gel to-
Definition
find the unknown MW
Term
What is the probe?
Definition
probe for specific bands by incubating the gel with probe a dna molecule with specific bp complimentary specific seq. this creates dsDNA. probe is labelled with color so you can see withch bands are a match.
Term
northern blot
Definition
same as southern blot but for RNA.
Term
technique to sequence the DNA=
Definition
sanger method
Term
sanger method starts with
Definition
ss dna sample for the template
Term
sanger method with the template it is-
Definition
incubated with large amount of dNTPs primer, dna polymerase, buffer, and small amount of modified dideoxyNT
Term
modified di deoxyNT
Definition
are analogs to A,C,T, or G. are missing the 3' OH group and are colored
Term
Sanger method elongates strand
Definition
until the di deoxyNT is added then elongation stops and there is a colored label on the 5' end of the strand
Term
why does elongation stop with the di deoxyNT?
Definition
cant elongate bc there is no 3' OH group no oxygen to do a nucleophillic attack on the next NT triphosphate to keep creating the backbone.
Term
After the synthesized dna fragments of different lengths are made in the sanger method what happens?
Definition
denatured into ss dna again and read in the gel by length.
Term
old sanger method:
Definition
4 tubes with only 1 analong ACGT each and the primer was labelled instead.
Term
the colored modified base will be at the -- end of new fragment?
Definition
3' end. DNA is synthesized 5'->3'
Term
sanger method needs -- before it can start
Definition
must figure out the complimentary pairing for the primer first
Term
Polymerase chain rxn:
Definition
amplify dna to a larger concentration of dna with same bp seq
Term
What do you put into the pcr thermocycler:
Definition
2 primers (start with the ds dna)
buffer
4 DNTP
Term
in pcr the primer must be
Definition
complimentary to the 5' end of the piece of the template dna you want amplified
Term
steps of pcr and temps/times
Definition
denature 95 for 12min
anneal 60 for 1 min
extending 70 for 1.5min
repeat
Term
first step pcr denaturing-
Definition
heat depends on CG vs AT content needs to seperate the ds dna to ss by breaking hydrogen bonds
Term
2nd step of pcr annealing
Definition
primers form compliments with template. primer can form h bonds at 60 degres for bp.
Term
3rd step of pcr extend
Definition
elongation of primers at 70 degress dna polymerase adds DNTS in the 5'->3' direction
Term
amplification totals=
20 cycles= --dna
Definition
2^cycle #
20 cycles= DNA 1million copies
Term
after the last pcr cycle-
Definition
quench at 4 degrees and ds DNA will reform
Term
DNA polymerase for PCR
Definition
Taq polymerase protein stable at high temp. not used up bc it is an enzyme-> dont have to add more after each cycle.
Term
restriction enzymes/ restriction endonucleases-
Definition
enzymes that hydrolyze phosphodiester bonds at specific sequences called palindrome
Term
bacteria protect there dna from restriction enzymes by
Definition
methylatning groups to some a or C groups at their restriction sites
Term
restriction endonucleases cleave
Definition
both strands (both phosphodiester bonds) in the middle of dna
Term
palindrome
Definition
when read 5' ->3' the sequence is identical
Term
Taq1 polymerase recognizes
Definition
4 base and cuts in stick ends
TCGA. cuts at T C bond
Term
Hae3 polymerase recognizes
Definition
4 base and cuts blunt ends
GGCC cuts between C and G
Term
EcoR1 hydrolyzes at -- and ends up with --
Definition
GA sticky ends
GAATTC
Term
restriction enzymes are named
Definition
1st letter= genus
2nd two= species
4th- strain
numeral= order it was found in that bacteria
Term
average freq of cuts for a restriction enzyme in dna?
Definition
4^n
4 for each ACTG
n= length of palindrome it recognizes
Term
6 base cutters cut every
Definition
4096 bp; bigger fragments
Term
4 base cutters cut every
Definition
256 bp; smaller fragments
