Single and double digestion of plasmid pMCS326 were performed using the restriction enzymes AluIII and EcoRV. DNA fragments were shown in an electrophoretogram below. Construct a restriction map of plasmid pMCS326 for enzymes AluIII and EcoRV. (Create restriction mapping with explanation)
A restriction map lists the locations of DNA sequences that are cut by a particular restriction enzyme for a piece of DNA, such as a chromosome or a plasmid. Restriction maps are important when generating a construct for experimental use. Digesting the DNA sequence with the restriction enzymes will result in fragmented DNA of predictable sizes, based on the restriction map, that allow a researcher to analyze if his or her construct was generated correctly when visualized using gel electrophoresis.
Use the linear restriction map to predict where bands would be expected on a gel if a digest is performed using the specified restriction enzymes. Assume that there is enough restriction enzyme that every possible restriction site on each molecule of DNA will be cut.
