If you want to use the plasmid above to clone an insert of 500 bp using BamHI and Sall, what would your expected FINAL plasmid+insert size to be if your cloning was successful? (remember that you first have to treat the intact pBR322 with BamHI and Sall to prepare it for introducing the insert).

### Understanding Plasmid Mapping and Fragment Analysis

#### 1. Gel Electrophoresis of pBR322 Digested with SalI, BamHI, and PstI

This diagram depicts the circular DNA plasmid map of pBR322, which is 4361 base pairs (bp) in length. Various restriction enzyme sites are denoted, showing where specific enzymes can cut the plasmid DNA.

- **Restriction Enzymes and Their Sites**:
  - **PstI**: Cuts at 3607 bp.
  - **BamHI**: Cuts at 375 bp.
  - **SalI**: Cuts at 651 bp.
  - Other sites include HindIII, EcoRI, EcoRV, and NdeI, specified with their respective cut positions (e.g., HindIII at 29 bp).

When pBR322 is cut with the enzymes SalI, BamHI, and PstI, it generates specific DNA fragments. Students are expected to map these cuts and calculate expected fragment sizes.

#### 2. Expected Size of Cloned Plasmid with Insert

- **Cloning Strategy**:
  - To clone an insert of 500 bp using BamHI and SalI, first treat pBR322 with both enzymes.
  - Calculate the expected final size of the plasmid with the insert:
    - Remove the BamHI-SalI fragment.
    - Insert the 500 bp piece.

This educational exercise involves understanding restriction mapping, digestion, and calculating fragment sizes for successful molecular cloning.
