ELECTROFORESIS OF ISOLATED DNA

• Separation of DNA,RNA,proteins by applying an electric field to move negatively charged molecule through an agarose matrix.

• Molecules separated in their fragments on the basis of their size by sieving.

• It is used to 1.Separate proteins. 2.Separate mix population of DNA. 3.Separate RNA fragment by length. 4.Estimate size of DNA and RNA.

INTRODUCTION

• AGAROSE GEL-:1% of 100ml is used. means .5g agarose in 49ml d.w and 1ml 50x buffer.5 µl EtBr is used.

• 600ml BUFFER-: (Tank Buffer)12ml 50x buffer + 588ml d.w.

COMPOSITION OF AGAROSE GEL AND BUFFER USED

• Prepared agarose gel at 45ºC was poured in gel casting plate where comb was already placed.

• After formation of gel, comb was removed and wells formed.

• Buffer was poured in the tank.• Sample along with dye was loaded to the well.

Marker was also added in another well.• Apply voltage and under the influence of the electric

field, movement starts.

PROCESS OF GEL ELECTROPHORESIS

Role of EtBr it is a fluorescent dye which fluorescent after intercalating between two strands , under a UV light. It emit a particular wavelength of light which comes under visible light.

SDS PAGE

Principle is based on the separation of protein on the basis of their size and their charge.SDS applied to protein sample to impart a negative charge linearize the protein.Electric field applied across the gel, causing the negative charged proteins to migrate across the gel towards positive electrode.SDS-PAGE is chemically inert and produce different pore size.

NOTE: There is a discontinuous buffer system.

PRINCIPLE OF SDS PAGE

Velocity of charged particles moving in electric field is

-Directly proportional to the field strength and charge on molecule-Inversely proportional to the size and viscosity of molecule.

CHEMICAL INGRADIENTS AND THEIR ROLES

• Components of loading dye:-It is colorless progress through the gel. It is anionic of known electrophoric mobility. Move ahead protein.

1.Tris base-: maintain Ph. 2.BME( Beta mercapto ethanol)-:breaks disulfide bonds. 3.SDS-: linearize proteins and impart negative charge to proteins. 4.Glycerol-: increase density of sample.it is non-ionic and non-reactive toward proteins to interfering with electricity.

Cont.…..• Components of LGB and UGB buffer used:-1. Acrylamide-:When dissolved in water autopolymerization of

acrylamide takes place. Joining of molecules head to tail fashion to form single chain polymer.

2. Bisacrylamide-:Cross linking agent for polyacrylamide gel. Two acrylamide molecule coupled head to tail at their non-reactive ends. Hence cross linked two polyacrylamide chains to one another results to a gel formation.

3. TEMED (Tetramethylethylene diamine)-:provide free radicals.

4. APS (Ammonium per sulfate)-:stabilize free radicals and forms the gel.

Cont.……• Components of electrode buffer:-1. Tris-HCL-:When voltage applied. H+ ions and Cl- ions

dissociates. Cl-ve ions are highly mobile as they are small in size as well as negatively charged. Hence it is always ahead than protein and glycine.

2. SDS-:It bound to the protein.(1.4gm SDS bound 1gm protein)and form SDS bound protein complex. Coats protein with uniform negative charge.

3. Glycine-:Weak acid which is neutral or protonated in the stacking gel while it becomes glycinate or deprotonated in the resolving gel.

Cont.……

• Size varies as:-- Cl- < glycine < SDS bound protein NOTE: Glycine slows down in stacking gel do move but with less mobility than Cl- ions and protein.In resolving gel glycinate move behind Cl- but ahead to proteins.

Cont.………• Staining dye:- It is anionic, non-polar, non-

specifically bound to protein. Allowing visualization of separated protein. Different protein will appear as distinct bands within the gel.

• Distaining dye:- It is used to destain the excessive dye.

WHY STACKING GEL IS 6% AND RESOLVING GEL IS 12% ?

• Stacking gel is having less amount of acrylamide and bisacrylamide results in large pore size. Hence all proteins of different size stack in the same line ready to move from a same point.

• Resolving gel have more amount of same due to which pore size is small. So proteins distinguish acc. to different size.

PROCESS OF SDS-PAGE

• Prepared resolving gel was poured between two glass plates.

• After that stacking gel was poured over it.• Then comb was placed between the two glass

plates having gel between them.• Comb was removed and wells formed in which

protein sample with tracking dye was loaded further.

DURING PROCESS

Wells formed afterRemoving comb.(4 wells contain proteinSample along with dyeAnd one well containMarker)

Dye tracking the Path of protein move-ment.

STAINING AND DESTAINING OF GEL

• Staining dye is used to stain the proteins pathway.

• After staining remove excessive stain by destaining dye. It will left for overnight.

• After removing the excessive dye. Take the picture of bands of proteins onto the gel.

Cont.……..

For destaining the excessive dye, shaking is provided overnight with the help of decoloring shaker.

RESTRICTION ENDONUCLEASE

INTRODUCTION OF RESTRICTION ENDONUCLEASE

• Restriction enzymes are enzymes isolated from bacteria that recognize specific sequences in DNA and then cut the DNA to produce fragments, called restriction fragments.

• Restriction enzymes play a very important role in the construction of recombinant DNA molecules, as is done in gene cloning experiments.

Dot – ELISAENZYME LINKED

IMMUNOSORBENT ASSAY

INTRODUCTION OF Dot - ELISA

• Antigen is directly sandwiched between two antibodies which react with two different epitopes on the same antigen.

• One of the antibodies is immobilized onto the solid support and second is linked to the enzyme.

• Antigen present in the test sample is first linked to the immobilized antibody and then with the enzyme linked antibody.

• Incubate the strip with an appropriate chromogenic substrate which is converted into colored and insoluble product.

PLANT TISSUE CULTURE

INTRODUCTION

• Plant tissue culture is a collection of techniques used to maintain or grow plant cells, tissues or organs under sterile conditions on a nutrient culture medium of known composition.

• Plant tissue culture is widely used to produce clones of a plant in a method known as micro propagation.

• The production of multiples of plants is possible in the absence of seeds or necessary pollinators to produce seeds.

PROCEDURE

• Nutritional medium was prepared by the addition of some macronutrients, micronutrients, vitamins& organics for the inoculation of seed for callus culture(pH-5.7).

• Moong seeds are washed with the tap water for 2 times.• Now washed with the detergent.• Again washed with the tap water twice.• Now washed with the distilled water twice.• Then washed with the .1% HgCl2 for 1 min.• Now washed with the autoclaved distilled water for three times.• Now inoculate the seeds into the MS medium.• Flasks were kept in the growth chamber for proper growth.
