in vitro transcription

1. Annealing Reaction

  • Dilution: dilute each DNA strand to a final concentration of 100 µM with water. (# nmol X 10 = µL of water to add)
  • Make the following cocktails in an Eppendorf tube (scale it up according to your final reaction volume)
Volume (30 uL in total) Reagent
7.5 uLDNA strand 1
7.5 uLDNA strand 2
9 uL10 mM MgCl2
6 uLH2O
  • Incubate the annealing reactions at 95.0 ºC for 5 min, and then immediately put it on ice.

2. in vitro Transcription

Purify RNA

Option 1: PAGE

Choose proper concentration of PAGE
  • 8% Acrylamide: 60~400bp
  • 12% Acrylamide: 40~200bp
  • 15% Acrylamide: 25~150bp
  • 20% Acrylamide: 6~100bp
Denatured PAGE Gel
  • 500V,130mA at 4C for 6~7 hours
Crush & Soak
  • Cut RNA band from the gel under 260nm wavelength fluorescence light
  • Crush the gel band into fine grains by using 50mL Falcon tube and 50mL syringe
  • Soak in 2 volumes of CSB (Crush&Soak buffer) for 6 hours at room temperature, and collect solution by filtering it
  • Repeat the step above
  • Ethanol Precipitate the RNA from the collected supernatant (or run the supernatant through desalting column)
