Stages of DNA Isolation |
- Homogenization - Deproteinization - Precipitation
|
3 |
|
Homogenization does? |
Cell walls of the bacteria are broken down |
|
|
Deproteinization does? |
Proteins in the cells are removed? |
|
|
Precipitation does? |
DNA is concentrated by removing it from the aqueous solution |
|
|
Homogenization components |
- EDTA - SDS - Proteinase K - Heat |
4 |
|
Deproteinization components |
- Proteinase K - Phenol/ Chloroform |
2 |
|
Precipitation components |
- Sodium acetate - Isopropanol |
2 |
|
EDTA |
Destabilizes the cell wall |
|
|
SDS |
Disrupts the cell membrane |
|
|
Proteinase K |
Degrades the proteins in the cell |
|
|
Heat |
Disrupts the cell further |
|
|
Phenol/ Chloroform |
Denatures and separates proteins from DNA |
|
|
Sodium acetate |
Neutralizes the charge on the DNA sugar (phosphate backbone) making it less hydrophilic |
|
|
Isopropanol |
Precipitates the DNA out of a solution |
