Materials
- Template (dilute to ~ 0.1 mg/mL
- Primers (prepare by adding 2 uL of each sense and antisense primer + 196 uL water and label as 1 uM primer mix). Design using Stratagene Primer Design Program
- dNTP's (2 mM; add 10 uL of each dNTP (100 mM from invitrogen) into 460 uL water, and make 50 uL aliquots)
- PFU Turbo
- DpnI
- Supercompetent XL1-Blue Cells (Stratagene)
Protocol
- Mix:
- 5 uL 10X Reaction Buffer
- ~20 ng Template (1 uL of minprep)
- 10 uL of Primer Mix
- 5 uL of dNTP mix
- 28 uL of water
- Add 1 uL of Pfu Turbo
- Run PCR Program (Mutagenesis 8/15/20 minute, depending on template)
- 95C for 30s
- Repeat 18 cycles:
- 95C for 30s
- 55C for 1 min
- 68C for 1 min/kb plasmid length (8 min default, but use 15 or 20 min for larger templates.)
- Place on ice for 2 min
- Add 1 uL DpnI, mix and spin down. Digest 1h or overnight at 37C.
- Thaw XL1-Blue cells on ice and make 50 uL aliquots (round tube)
- Add 1 uL of digest to cells and mix.
- Incubate 30 min on ice.
- Heat at 42 C for 45 s, then place on ice for 2 min.
- Add 450 uL SOC preheated at 42C and grow 1h at 37C shaking
- Spread out entire transformation on appropriate antibiotic
- Grow O/N at 37C
- Pick a colony, miniprep and sequence to verify mutation
- Check Clones for Correct Mutation
