Abstract

Protocol for blunting ends by 3' overhang removal and fill-in of 3' recessed (5' overhang) ends using T4 DNA Polymerase.

Before start

Steps

1.

Dissolve DNA in any 1X supplemented with 100micromolar (µM) .

2.

Add 1 unit of T4 DNA Polymerase per microgram DNA.

3.

Incubate 0h 15m 0s at 12°C.

4.

Stop reaction by adding EDTA to a final concentration of 10millimolar (mM).

Note
See references 1, 2 for information on stopping reaction using EDTA and 75°C.

5.

Heat for 0h 20m 0s at 75°C.

Note
CAUTION : Elevated temperatures, excessive amounts of enzyme, failure to supplement with dNTPs or long reaction times will result in recessed ends due to the 3´→ 5´ exonuclease activity of the enzyme.
