The Quick-Change method

Primer design: both of the mutagenic primers must contain the desired mutation and anneal to the same sequence on opposite strands of the plasmid. The desired mutation should be in the middle of the primer with ~10-15bases of correct sequence on both sides. On each side of the desired mutations of my primers, 4*(the number of Gor C)+2*(the number of A or T)>45. it is better that the primers terminate in one or more C or G bases. Polymerase Chain Reaction: we use PrimeSTAR (TaKaRa) as the polymerase.

system:          concentration         volume
    5*PS Buffer    5*                  4.0ul
    dNTP mixture  2.5mM each          2.0ul
    primer1       25uM               0.2ul
    primer2       25uM               0.2ul
    template      changeable             ~
    PrimeSTAR      ~                 0.2ul
    ddH2O                           add to 20ul 

process program

Predenaturing       94℃        5 min	         
 Denaturing	     94℃        30sec	 
 Annealing	   follow the Tm  30sec	                  30cycles
 Extension	     72℃        theoretically 1kb/min
 Last extention       72℃        10min
 Hold              10℃

DpnI digestion of the amplification products: DpnI will digest parental methylated and hemimethylated DNA .

Transformation: follow the standard protocol. Nick of the mutated molecule will be repaired in cells.
