A modified method of SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis for the efficient separation of low molecular weight proteins (ranging 1.4–10 kDa, containing di-sulfide bonds) without frowning, smiling and diffusion is described. SDS-polyacrylamide and tricine gel electrophoresis are considered as standard approaches for low molecular weight protein separation, despite frowning, smiling and diffusion...
An efficient and reproducible method for transformation depends on the competency of the organism. We have developed a simple method for the preparation of competent Escherichia coli, Kluyveromyces lactis, and Bifidobacterium sp. by using a buffer containing cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) and permits efficient uptake of plasmid DNA and ligation-reaction products. Cells are harvested, washed,...
The overlap forward-primer-walk polymerase chain reaction method was used to synthesize the human tumor necrosis factor α (hTNF) gene in Escherichia coli cells. Growth curves for hTNF and pET23d vector cultures exhibited slower doubling rates than cultures containing the pET23d vector alone. Cell cultures transformed with hTNF reached peak densities (0.4–0.6 OD 600 ) 3 to 4h post-induction,...
Various methods of ligation are currently available and routinely used by molecular biologists, such as blunt end ligation, cohesive end (two and four overhangs), and ligation of Taq polymerase-derived products. However, there is no efficient method for the cloning of DNA fragments with 2-bp overhangs. We present a simple method for the efficient ligation of DNA fragments with 2-bp overhanging ends,...
We present a simple, single-step, single-tube, and rapid method for introducing a series of mutations into cloned DNA. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based mutagenesis methods have become very prevalent due to their simplicity and efficiency for introducing mutations. Our method, overlap-primer-walk PCR, has several advantages over other published methods. It uses two common oligodeoxyribonucleotides...
