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.

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.
