Set up the reaction on ice as follows:ReagentVolumeFinal ConcentrationdsDNAxµlup to 0.25µg/µl10X Reaction Buffer2µl1XE. coli DNA Ligase (10U/µl)1µl0.5U/µlNuclease-free Water(17-x)µl-Total Volume20µl-Note 1: When multiple reactions are required, prepare a master mix including all reagents except the substrate DNA and then dispense to different nuclease-free PCR tubes. Finally, add substrate DNA to each tube.Note 2: E. coli DNA Ligase should be kept on ice during the experiment.2. Mix well by pipetting or vortex gently. Centrifuge briefly to collect liquid at the bottom of the PCR tube.3. Incubate at 16℃ for 30-60 minutes.4. After incubation, immediately heat inactivate the reaction at 65℃ for 20 minutes.5. Examine the reaction products by agarose gel or polypropylene gel electrophoresis. If DNA need to be recovered from agarose gel, we recommend using the DNA Gel Extraction Kit. To purify DNA from the enzyme digestion reactions, we recommend using the PCR Clean Up Kit/DNA Purification Kit. 6. For other applications, please refer to the relevant literature for E. coli DNA Ligase.FAQ:1. What is the difference between E. coli DNA Ligase and T4 DNA Ligase?Under the recommended conditions in the manual, E. coli DNA Ligase cannot ligate blunt-end DNA or RNA molecules [3].2. Can E. coli DNA Ligase be heat-inactivated?E. coli DNA Ligase can be inactivated by incubation at 65℃ for 20 minutes.3. How to choose the appropriate ligase or ligation kit?For rapid ligation of blunt- or sticky-end DNA fragments, the Rapid DNA Ligation Kit is recommended. T4 DNA Ligase is suitable for most DNA recombination reactions and can be used for sticky-end (10-minute ligation at room temperature) or blunt-end (2-hour or overnight ligation at room temperature) ligations. However, E. coli DNA Ligase is more selective for substrates and is recommended for sticky-end ligations. For ligation of ssDNA or RNA molecules, we recommend using the T4 RNA Ligase. References:1.

It may be used in biotechnology to cleave affinity tags from recombinant proteins, either co-translationally orin vitrofollowing purification.TEV Protease is the 241 amino acid (aa), 27 kDa catalytic domain of the nuclear inclusion a (NIa) protein encoded by the potyvirus, tobacco etch virus (TEV). It may be used in biotechnology to cleave affinity tags from recombinant proteins, either co-translationally orin vitrofollowing purification. Its high specificity and activity at a wide range of pH and ionic strength make TEV Protease more versatile than many other proteases used for the same purpose. Unlike factor Xa, enteropeptidase or thrombin, TEV Protease has not been found to cleave at unintended sites, even when present at a high concentration. TEV Protease is a 3C-type protease that cleaves substrates with a consensus sequence of ENLYFQG. Cleavage occurs between Q and G. Since the final aa remains on the cleaved protein where it could potentially affect structure or function, substitution of a variety of aa have been tested. In order of efficiency, S, A, M, Y, D, N, E, K or L may be effectively used in place of G. Several of the remaining aa may also vary, giving a final consensus sequence of ExxYF(M)Q(E)/G(S, A or others) where aa in parenthesis are alternatives and x is any aa. The autocatalytic site of NIa at S2256 has been mutated to an N for improved stability of the protease.Tobacco Etch Virus Protease is a highly site-specific cysteine protease that is found in the tags from fusion proteins. The optimal temperature for cleavage is 30°C. It is recommended that the cleavage for each fusion protein be optimized by varying the amount of recombinant viral TEV protease, reaction time, or incubation temperature. It can be removed by Ni2+ affinity resin...

They are mainly involved in innate immune response against viral infection. The IFN-α family has 13 subtypes and 23 different variants. The individual proteins have molecular masses between 19-26 kDa and consist of proteins with lengths of 156-166 and 172 amino acids. All IFN-α subtypes possess a common conserved sequence region between amino acid positions 115-151 while the amino-terminal ends are variable. Many IFN-alpha subtypes differ in their sequences at only one or two positions. Naturally occurring variants also include proteins truncated by 10 amino acids at the carboxy-terminal end...

It is expressed cell Purity:>90%, by SDS-PAGE visualized with Coomassie® Blue Staining.Description:BIRC5, also known as Survivin and EPR-1, is a member of theIAP family. IAP family members usually contain multiple baculovirus IAP repeat (BIR) domains, but BIRC5 has only a single BIR domain. It is expressed cell cycle-dependently and highly expressed at mitosis. As a multitasking protein, BIRC5 has dual roles in promoting cell proliferation and preventing apoptosis. Survivin is a component of a chromosome passage protein complex (CPC) which is essential for chromosome alignment and segregation during mitosis and cytokinesis. Survivin acts as an important regulator of the localization of this complex. It may counteract a default induction of apoptosis in G2/M phase... Read More |
