  1. DNA Restriction Anaysis

  2. DNA is Tightly Packaged into Chromosomes Which Reside in the Nucleus

  3. Model of DNADNA is Comprised of Four Base Pairs

  4. Deoxyribonucleic Acid(DNA)

  5. O O P O Base O O CH2 Sugar O O P O Base O O CH2 Sugar OH DNASchematic 5’ phosphate 3’ hydroxyl

  6. DNARestriction Enzymes • Evolved by bacteria to protect against viral DNA infection • Endonucleases = cleave within DNA strands • Over 3,000 known enzymes

  7. Enzyme Site Recognition Restriction site Palindrone • Each enzyme digests (cuts) DNA at a specific sequence = restriction site • Enzymes recognize 4- or 6- base pair, palindromic sequences (eg GAATTC) Fragment 2 Fragment 1

  8. 5 vs 3 Prime Overhang Enzyme cuts • Generates 5 prime overhang

  9. Common Restriction Enzymes EcoRI – Eschericha coli – 5 prime overhang Pstl – Providencia stuartii – 3 prime overhang

  10. The DNA DigestionReaction • Restriction Buffer provides optimal conditions • NaCI provides the correct ionic strength • Tris-HCI provides the proper pH • Mg2+ is an enzyme co-factor

  11. DNA DigestionTemperature Why incubate at 37°C? • Body temperature is optimal for these and most other enzymes What happens if the temperature is too hot or cool? • Too hot = enzyme may be denatured (killed) • Too cool = enzyme activity lowered, requiring longer digestion time

  12. AgaroseElectrophoresisLoading • Electrical current carries negatively-charged DNA through gel towards positive (red) electrode Buffer Dyes Agarose gel Power Supply

  13. AgaroseElectrophoresisRunning • Agarose gel sieves DNA fragments according to size • Small fragments move farther than large fragments Gel running Power Supply

  14. Analysis of Stained Gel Determine restriction fragment sizes • Create standard curve using DNA marker • Measure distance traveled by restriction fragments • Determine size of DNA fragments • Identify the related samples

  15. Molecular Weight Determination Fingerprinting Standard Curve: Semi-log Size (bp) Distance (mm) 23,000 11.0 9,400 13.0 6,500 15.0 4,400 18.0 2,300 23.0 2,000 24.0
