Electrophoresis
Isoelectric Focusing Electrophoresis (IFE)
- Separate molecules according to their isoelectric point (pI)
- At isoelectric point (pI) molecule has no charge (q=0), hence molecule ceases
- pH gradient medium

Electrophoresis
2-dimensional Gel Electrophoresis
- First dimension is IFE (separated by pI)
- Second dimension is SDS-PAGE (separated by size)
- So called 2D-PAGE
- High throughput electrophoresis, high resolution

Hybridization and Blotting
![Page 18: Biochemical Tool](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56815d4a550346895dcb538a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Hybridization
![Page 19: Biochemical Tool](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56815d4a550346895dcb538a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Hybridization Can be DNA:DNA, DNA:RNA, or RNA:RNA (RNA is easily
degraded) Dependent on the extent of complementation Dependent on temperature, salt concentration, and
solvents Small changes in the above factors can be used to
discriminate between different sequences (e.g., small mutations can be detected)
Probes can be labeled with radioactivity, fluorescent dyes, enzymes, etc.
Probes can be isolated or synthesized sequences
![Page 20: Biochemical Tool](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56815d4a550346895dcb538a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Oligonucleotide probesSingle stranded DNA (usually 15-40 bp)Degenerate oligonucleotide probes can be used
to identify genes encoding characterized proteins– Use amino acid sequence to predict possible
DNA sequences– Hybridize with a combination of probes– TT(T/C) - TGG - ATG - GA(T/C) - TG(T/C) - could
be used for FWMDC amino acid sequenceCan specifically detect single nucleotide
changes

Detection of ProbesProbes can be labeled with radioactivity,
fluorescent dyes, enzymes.Radioactivity is often detected by X-ray
film (autoradiography)Fluorescent dyes can be detected by
fluorometers, scannersEnzymatic activities are often detected
by the production of dyes or light (x-ray film)

RNA Blotting (Northerns)• RNA is separated by size on a denaturing
agarose gel and then transferred onto a membrane (blot)
• Probe is hybridized to complementary sequences on the blot and excess probe is washed away
• Location of probe is determined by detection method (e.g., film, fluorometer)
![Page 23: Biochemical Tool](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56815d4a550346895dcb538a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Applications of RNA Blots• Detect the expression level and
transcript size of a specific gene in a specific tissue or at a specific time. Sometimes mutations do not affect coding regions but transcriptional regulatory sequences (e.g., UAS/URS, promoter, splice sites, copy number, transcript stability, etc.)

Western BlotWestern Blot• Highly specific qualitative test• Can determine if above or below threshold• Typically used for research• Use denaturing SDS-PAGE
– Solubilizes, removes aggregates & adventitious proteins are eliminated
Components of the gel are then transferred to a solid support or transfer membrane

A simple rapid, sensitive and versatile in vitro method for selectively amplifying defined sequences/regions of DNA/RNA from an initial complex source of nucleic acid - generates sufficient for subsequent analysis and/or manipulation
Amplification of a small amount of DNA using specific DNA primers (a common method of creating copies of specific fragments of DNA)
DNA fragments are synthesized in vitro by repeated reactions of DNA synthesis (It rapidly amplifies a single DNA molecule into many billions of molecules)
In one application of the technology, small samples of DNA, such as those found in a strand of hair at a crime scene, can produce sufficient copies to carry out forensic tests.
Each cycle the amount of DNA doubles

Ability to generate identical high copy number DNAs made possible in the 1970s by recombinant DNA technology (i.e., cloning).
Cloning DNA is time consuming and expensive Probing libraries can be like hunting for a needle in
a haystack. Requires only simple, inexpensive ingredients and
a couple hours.

Three Steps Separation: Double Stranded DNA is denatured by
heat into single strands. Short Primers for DNA replication are added to the
mixture. DNA polymerase catalyzes the production of
complementary new strands. Copying: the process is repeated for each new
strand created All three steps are carried out in the same vial but
at different temperatures
![Page 31: Biochemical Tool](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56815d4a550346895dcb538a/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Step 1: SeparationCombine Target Sequence, DNA primers
template, dNTPs, Taq PolymeraseTarget Sequence: Usually fewer than 3000
bp – Identified by a specific pair of DNA primers-
usually oligonucleotides that are about 20 nucleotides
Heat to 95°C to separate strands (for 0.5-2 minutes)– Longer times increase denaturation but
decrease enzyme and template
![Page 32: Biochemical Tool](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56815d4a550346895dcb538a/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Heat: Denatures DNA by uncoiling the Double Helix strands.

Step 2: Priming Decrease temperature by 15-25 ° Primers anneal to the end of the strand 0.5-2 minutes Shorter time increases specificity but
decreases yield Requires knowledge of the base sequences of
the 3’ - end

Step 3: Polymerization
• Since the Taq polymerase works best at around 75 ° C (the temperature of the hot springs where the bacterium was discovered), the temperature of the vial is raised to 72-75 °C
• The DNA polymerase recognizes the primer and makes a complementary copy of the template which is now single stranded.
• Approximately 150 nucleotides/sec

Potential Problems with Taq• Lack of proof-reading of newly synthesized
DNA.• Potentially can include di-Nucleotriphosphates
(dNTPs) that are not complementary to the original strand.
• Errors in coding result• Recently discovered thermostable DNA
polymerases, Tth and Pfu, are less efficient, yet highly accurate.

How PCR works:1. Begins with DNA containing a sequence to be amplified
and a pair of synthetic oligonucleotide primers that flank the sequence.
2. Next, denature the DNA at 94˚C.3. Rapidly cool the DNA (37-65˚C) and anneal primers to
complementary s.s. sequences flanking the target DNA.
4. Extend primers at 70-75˚C using a heat-resistant DNA polymerase (e.g., Taq polymerase derived from Thermus aquaticus).
5. Repeat the cycle of denaturing, annealing, and extension 20-45 times to produce 1 million (220) to 35 trillion copies (245) of the target DNA.
6. Extend the primers at 70-75˚C once more to allow incomplete extension products in the reaction mixture to extend completely.
7. Cool to 4˚C and store or use amplified PCR product for analysis.

How Powerful is PCR?PCR can amplify a usable amount of DNA
(visible by gel electrophoresis) in ~2 hours.
The template DNA need not be highly purified — a boiled bacterial colony.
The PCR product can be digested with restriction enzymes, sequenced or cloned.
PCR can amplify a single DNA molecule, e.g. from a single sperm.
