Lambda dna

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in Japan, United States

Lambda DNA is a laboratory tool used as a reference standard and control sample in various molecular biology experiments. It is a double-stranded DNA molecule derived from the bacteriophage lambda. Lambda DNA has a well-characterized size and sequence, making it useful for calibrating and verifying the performance of laboratory equipment and procedures.

Bacterial Phage Lambda DNA (Sigma-Aldrich), CpG DNA (Enzo Life, Plymouth Meeting, Pa.), Torula yeast RNA (Sigma-Aldrich) were completely dissolved in Tris-acetate-EDTA (TAE) buffer (pH=8) by gentle inversion overnight at 4° C. Lambda DNA, CpG DNA, yeast RNA stock solutions were characterized by spectrophotometry to determine the concentration and purity. Total mouse heart RNA was extracted from C57Bl6 mouse hearts using TRI Reagent (Sigma-Aldrich) and characterized with a NanoDrop spectrophotometer (Thermo Fisher) as described in Feng Y, Chen H, et al., J Biol Chem. 2015; 290: 26688-98.

To measure the fluorescence response in the presence of nucleic acid (NA), serial dilutions of the NA solutions with ratio of 1:3 were prepared in a Corning Costar 96-Well black clear-bottom plate (Thermo Fisher). 50 nM of fluorochrome equivalents, based on the common benzothiazole ring, were added to the NA-containing wells and incubated for 2 hours. Fluorescence was measured with the GloMax-Multi Detection System and snap-in fluorescent optical kits (Promega, Madison, Wis.). EC50 was determined using the dose-response curve fitting function implemented in Prism (GraphPad, La Jolla, Calif.).

Synthetic Staphylococcal Matrix Assembly

The assembly reaction of the synthetic staphylococcal matrix, starting at pH 7.2, was recorded by measuring the OD600 as a function of time every 30 s for 30 min (35 (link)). Molecular self-assembly reactions were calculated to a final volume of 4 ml, with 0.3% chitosan (medium molecular weight, 75 to 85% deacetylation), 0.15% bovine serum albumin, and 0.015% lambda DNA (all from Sigma) in TSB. The concentration (μM) of tested peptides was calculated for a final volume of 4 ml. Before getting the assembly reaction pH starting points, a calibration record was done using the same reactional tube containing all reagents (auto zero). Acetic acid and NaOH were used to adjust pH, and the reaction temperature was about 30°C. As a negative control, a similarly sized peptide was used, PA-1 (62 (link)).

ATTO488- and ATTO647N-labeled 30-bp double-stranded DNA (DNA probe) was custom ordered at Sigma-Aldrich Japan. DNA was prepared by annealing ATTO488-5′-TAC CTT GGG GCC GGT GAG AAT TCG GCC TTT-3′ and ATTO647N-5′-AAA GGC CGA ATT CTC ACC GGC CCC AAG GTA-3′, followed by HPLC purification. Linear 500-bp DNA labeled by ATTO488 and ATTO647N was synthesized by PCR. PCR was performed with TaKaRa Ex Taq (Takara Bio Inc., Shiga, Japan; 5 U μl−1), dNTP Mixture (0.2 mM each), and Lambda-DNA (0.002 μg ml−1) as a template using the 5′-ATTO647N-labeled forward primer and the 5′-ATTO488-labeled reverse primer (0.4 μM each; Sigma-Aldrich Japan). The sequences of primers used were:
Forward primer: ATTO647N-5′-GAT GAG TTC GTG TCC GTA CAA CT-3′
Reverse primer (for 500-bp): ATTO488-5′-GGT TAT CGA AAT CAG CCA CAG CG-3′
PCR products were purified three times using MicroSpin S-400 HR columns (GE Healthcare, Uppsala, Sweden).

The molecular study was conducted at the Biotechnology laboratory, National Horticultural Research Institute (NIHORT), Ibadan, Nigeria. Fresh and young leaves of the three Boerhavia species studied were collected for genomic DNA extraction using modified Dellaporta procedure (Dellaporta et al. 1983) . The quality and concentration of DNA was assessed by gel electrophoresis using 2% agarose with known concentrations of undigested lambda DNA (Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA). Quantification of DNA was done using absorbance measurement in a spectrophotometer (Beckman Coulter DU530) at 260 nm.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
