  2. Lecture 4 Competency Test.

  3. Enzyme Site Recognition Restriction site Palindrome • Each enzyme digests (cuts) DNA at a specific sequence = restriction site • Enzymes recognize 4- or 6- base pair, palindromic sequences (eg GAATTC) Fragment 2 Fragment 1

  4. 5 vs 3 Prime Overhang Enzyme cuts • Generates 5 prime overhang

  5. Common Restriction Enzymes EcoRI – Eschericha coli – 5 prime overhang Pstl – Providencia stuartii – 3 prime overhang

  6. Name the five components of a PCR reaction. Template Buffer Primers (two of them) Taq Polymerase dNTPs

  7. Heat (94oC) to denature DNA strands Cool (52oC) to anneal primers to template Warm (72oC) to activate Taq polymerase, which extends primers and replicates DNA Repeat 35 cycles The PCR ReactionHow does it work?

  8. Denaturing Template DNA Heat causes DNA strands to separate 3’ 5’ 3’ 5’ 3’ 5’ Denaturation of DNA at 94oC 5’ 3’

  9. Annealing Primers Primers anneal at 52oC • Primers bind to the template • Taq polymerase recognizes 3’ end of primer + template strand 5’ 3’ 5’ 3’ 5’ 3’ 5’ 3’ Taq extendsat 72oC 5’ 3’ 5’ 3’ 3’ 5’ 3’ 5’

  10. Taq polymerase extends….. Cycle 1 • DNA is replicated Cycle 2 Repeat denaturing, annealing, and extending 35 cycles Cycle 3 The exact-length target product is made in the third cycle

  11. 2) Name two ways to synthesize a gene. Recombinant PCR Also: Polymerase cycle assembly 2) Assembly PCR

  12. Polymerase cycle assembly

  13. Assembly PCR

  14. What is Nested PCR?

  15. 3) What is the purpose of codon optimizing genes? To maximize the translation to the host tRNA population

  16. You must know single letter codes What does Degree of Degeneracy Reflect?

  19. 4) What are the 3 common components of plasmids used in DNA cloning? Origin [OriC] of replication Selectable marker [I.e. Kan Resistance Gene/Amp Resistance Gene 3) Multiple Cloning Site [MCS]

  20. 5) What is the difference between an oligonucleotide and a primer? Nothing. It is the usage which differs. A primer is always used with a polymerase. An oligo is simply a chain of nucleotides

  21. 6) Are oligonucleotides and primers single stranded? Yes. We use them to anneal to other single stranded templates.

  22. 7) Do oligonucleotides and primers have to be DNA? No. They can be RNA. Why do we use RNA sometimes: Because annealing RNA to DNA Make very stronger hybrids.

  23. 8) Name 4 parameters that affect annealing of two single stranded DNA chains? Temperature Salt concentration DNA concentration Length of complementarity Time of re-annealing

  24. 9) What does DNA ligase do? DNA ligase catalyzes the Phosphodiester bond formation between two nucleotides. ATP is used in the reaction to donate a phosphate.

  25. DNA Ligase Covalently Closes Nicks in DNA

  26. DNA ligase forms a high energy intermediate that
