PCR experiment:

PCR experiment can be divided into three steps: denaturation → annealing → extension. Denaturation: heating breaks the hydrogen bond between double strands of template DNA at a high temperature of 95 ℃ to form two single strands. Annealing: reduce the solution temperature by 60 ℃, and make the template DNA and primer complement each other according to the principle of base pairing. Extension: when the reaction temperature of the solution rises to 72 ℃, the heat-resistant DNA polymerase takes the single strand DNA as the template and replicates the complementary DNA in the direction of 5 '- 3' by using four kinds of deoxynucleoside triphosphate (dNTP) in the reaction mixture under the guidance of primers. We also did pre denaturation and complete extension to completely denature and untie the primers, so as to ensure that the primers are single stranded DNA, so as to ensure the effect. The final extension is to fully extend the primers and completely anneal the single stranded products to form a double stranded structure to ensure the effect.

Gel electrophoresis experiment:

TAE buffer was added and agarose gel was added to the template, waiting to be condensed into solid, then put into TAE buffer and added DNA reagent of mixed nucleic acid dye into the gel electrophoresis apparatus to wait for the result. The results can be seen visually under UV lamp.

LB medium:

The medium is used to pre culture the strains to multiply the strains and meet the use requirements. It can also be used to culture genetically engineered receptor bacteria. We cultured E. coli.

Plasmid transformation by heat shock method:

Plasmid transformation refers to the process of introducing our plasmid into bacteria. The connected products were put into competent cells. It is convenient for subsequent molecular operation. To achieve the proliferation of recombinant clones.

DNS method for the determination of reducing sugars

Steps: Draw 1 mL of sample solution. Put it in a 25 mL colorimetric tube. Add 2 mL of DNS reaction solution, and develop color in boiling water for 2 minutes. Rinse with running water, after cooling quickly, add 9 mL of distilled water to dilute, and shake well. Adjust to zero with distilled water blank, measure the absorbance at 540 nm, and calculate the amount of reducing sugar by referring to the standard curve.

The preparation of the standard curve: the standard glucose is first dried to a constant weight, accurately weighed 1 g, dissolved in a small amount of distilled water, and dilute to 500 mL, so that the reducing sugar concentration is 2 mg/mL. Pipette 0.2, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.8 mL of standard solution into 25 mL colorimetric tube. Make up to 1 mL with distilled water. Add 2 mL of DNS reaction solution, and develop color with boiling water for 2 minutes. Rinse with running water, and quickly cool down. Dilute with 9 mL of distilled water and shake well. Set the blank with distilled water to zero, and measure the absorbance at 540 nm. Draw the standard curve with the absorbance value OD540 at 540 nm as the abscissa and the reducing sugar content C (g/L) as the ordinate.
