<b> 1. Aim </b><br>
 +
<div style="text-align: justify; margin-left:20px">
 +
A restriction digest is the division of DNA ina  specific area by the help of restriction enzymes. The aim afterwards could be to analyze and characterize (restriction maps) the DNA, to compare it to others or to clone it into e.g. a vector. Previous to the restriction, the DNA has to be isolated (see protocol miniprep).</div>
 +
<br>
 +
<b> 2. Test digest - What for?</b><br>
 +
<div style="text-align: justify; margin-left:20px"><br>
 +
In a test digest the cleavage products are analyzed to verify that the used DNA has e.g. taken in a specific fragment. Only few of the DNA is digested, because the uncut DNA will be used in further steps. The whole DNA strand is often too long to analyze, therefore:</div>
 +
<ul style="text-align: justify; margin-left:20px;list-style-type:disc" float:right;>
 +
  <li>targeted cuts between specific base sequences </li>
 +
  <li>cleavage fragments small enough to run on gel </li>
 +
  <li>segregation and analysis by gel electrophoresis </li>
 +
</ul>
 +
<div style="text-align: justify; margin-left:20px">
 +
→ always with a control: uncut plasmid (see protocol gel electrophoresis)
 +
In a preparative digest normally 1 U enzyme digests 1 µg DNA in one hour. </div><br>
 +
 +
<b>3. Preparative digest - What for? </b><br>
 +
<div style="text-align: justify; margin-left:20px">
 +
In a preparative digest the entire available DNA is digested, because the cleavage products are used in further steps. The cut DNA can be extracted from a gel.
 +
It is important that as much DNA as possible is digested. Therefore 0,2 - 0,4 µl enzyme per µg DNA are applied and the reaction should run for ~2h.</div>
 +
<br>
 +
<b> 4. Procedure</b><br>
 +
<div style="text-align: justify; margin-left:20px">
 +
exemplary pipetting scheme:</div>
 +
<div style="text-align: justify; margin-left:40px">
 +
1 µl DNA (typically 200 - 500 ng)<br>
 +
1 µl 10x buffer <br>
 +
7,6 µl H2O <br>
 +
0,1 µl enzyme 1 <br>
 +
0,1 µl enzyme 2 <br>
 +
final volume :10 µl </div>
 +
<br>
 +
<div style="text-align: justify; margin-left:20px">
 +
If more than one reaction is done, it is convenient to prepare a master mix containing everything except for the DNA (!). This saves time and tips and keeps you from having to pipet very small volumes (e.g. 0,1 µl).<br>
 +
 
 +
It is also possible to use more than two or just one restriction enzyme per reaction. They just need to have the same buffer preferences. Volumes have to be adjusted to the number of enzymes.</div>
