Ligation Protocol using BioBrick Assembly Kit® (E0546)
Introduction
Ligate the Upstream and Downstream Parts into the digested Destination Plasmid.
Upstream Part digestion: | 2 µl |
Downstream Part digestion: | 2 µl |
Destination Plasmid digestion: | 2 µl |
10X T4 DNA Ligase Buffer: | 2 µl |
T4 DNA Ligase: | 1 µl |
H2O: | 11 µl |
Incubate at room temperature for 10 minutes and then heat inactivate at 80°C for 20 minutes.
Transform 2 μl of the ligation product into 50 μl of competent E. coli cells (or other suitable host strain). Select using the antibiotic corresponding to the Destination Plasmid.
