Add the following to a microfuge tube:
2 μl of appropriate 10X restriction enzyme buffer 0.1 to 5 μg DNA sterile water to a final volume of 19 μl (Note: These volumes are for
analytical digests only. Larger volumes may be necessary for preparative
digests or for chromosomal DNA digests. - Add 1 to 2 μl (3 to 20 units) enzyme and mix gently. Spin for a few seconds in microfuge.
- Incubate at the appropriate temperature (usually 37E C) for 1 to 2 hours.
- Run a small aliquot on a gel to check for digestion.
- If the DNA is to be used for another manipulation, heat inactivate the enzyme (if it is heat labile) at 70 E C for 15 min, phenol/chloroform extract and ethanol precipitate, or purify on Qiagen DNA purification column.
