Riboswitch 20 uL PCR. Set up 4 reactions (25 uL for each total volume). 1 uL or 1/100 pTopp and 1 uL or H1/100 PCR from July 28, 2008.

PCR conditions:

A. Initial denaturation: 98 C (3 min)
B. -Denaturation: 98 C (10 sec)
    - Annealing: 55 C (30 sec)
    -Extension: 72 C (15 sec)
    -30 cycles
C. Final extension: 72 C (7 min)

Riboswitch:

Set up PCR using purified riboswitch from Aug. 5, 2008 with platinum Taq (50 uL reaction). Made Master Mix for three reactions. Master Mix:

-10x Buffer (no Mg2+): 15 uL
-10 mM dNTPs: 3 uL
-50 mM Mg2+: 4.5 uL
-10uM RF: 3 uL
-10uM RR: 3 uL
-Plat. poly: 0.6 iL
-H20: 120.9 uL
-template: 1 uL

Cycle conditions:

A. Initial denaturation: 94 C (2 min)
B. -Denaturation: 94 C (30 sec)
    - Annealing: 55 C (30 sec)
    -Extension: 72 C (30 sec)
    -30 cycles
C. Final extension: 72 C (7 min)
