Restriction Digests |
| When using parts for 3A assembly, or testing the quality of a part you'll need to run a restriction digest. |
At iGEM HQ we recommend using the following protocols. The large reaction protocol will have enough of a volume for ligation and you'll be able to use a portion to run a gel. The small reaction protocol will only have enough volume for
Materials
- PCR tube
- dH20
- Enzymes (EcoRI, XbaI, SpeI, PstI)
- BSA
- Enzyme Buffer (NEBuffer 2)*
Notes: You should keep all materials on ice.
Procedure
- Add 250ng of DNA to be digested, and adjust with dH20 for a total volume of 16ul.
- Add 2.5ul of NEBuffer 2 to the tube.
- Add 0.5ul of BSA to the tube.
- Add 0.5ul of your first enzyme.
- Add 0.5ul of your second enzyme.
- There should be a total volume of 20ul. Mix well and spin down briefly.
- Incubate the restriction digest at 37C for 30min, and then 80C for 20min to heat kill the enzymes.
We incubate in a thermal cycler with a heated lid - Run a portion of the digest on a gel, to check that both plasmid and part length are accurate. Use ~2ul of the digest (20ng of DNA) for ligations.

| DNA | 20ul | 250ng | 250ng | 250ng |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NEB Buffer 2 | 2.5ul | 2.5ul | 2.5ul | |
