Agtergrond / Background: 1. You received four samples of DNA. The first sample was pure DNA dissolved in TE buffer for stability. The other three samples were impure DNA samples. 2. You determined the absorbance at two fixed wavelengths for the pure DNA sample. You obtained the values in Table 1. 3. You determined the absorbance at two fixed wavelengths for the three impure DNA samples. You obtained the values in Table 1. Tabel 1: DNA spektrofotometriese spectrum / Table 1: DNA spectrophotometric Spectrum Wavelength (nm) A260 A280 Sample 1 (OD) 0.186 0.102 Sample 2 (OD) 0.448 0.252 Sample 3 (OD) 0.646 0.357 Sample 4 (OD) 0.196 0.143 4. Determine the 260/280 ratios for each four samples. Record these values in Table 2. Sample 260/280 ratio 1 2 4 Table 2: 260/280 Ratio values for 4 samples of DNA 5. a) Based on these ratios, how pure are the DNA samples you were given? Motivate your answer. 1: 2: 3: 4: b) If a DNA sample is not pure, name one possible contaminant? 6.
