Preparation of Plasmid DNA by Small-scale Boiling Lysis

Joseph Sambrook and David W. Russell

This protocol was adapted from Molecular Cloning, 3rd edition, by Joseph Sambrook and David W. Russell. Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, Cold Spring Harbor, NY, USA, 2001

The first 15% of the full text of this article appears below.


INTRODUCTION

Plasmid DNA is isolated from small-scale (1-2 ml) bacterial cultures by treatment with Triton X-100 and lysozyme, followed by heating. This method is not recommended for preparing plasmid DNA from strains of E. coli that express endonuclease A (endA+ strains).


MATERIALS

Antibiotic for plasmid selection

Ethanol

Optional, please see Step 5.

Isopropanol

recipe caution Lysozyme (10 mg/ml)

Prepare the solution fresh in Tris-Cl (pH 8.0).

recipe Rich medium

recipe STET
