Blunt/TA Ligase Master Mix outperforms the competition.

Duplicate ligation reactions of blunt or T/A vector/insert pairs were set up according to the master mix vendors' suggestions. Equal amounts of ligated DNA were used to transform NEB 10- beta Competent E. coli (NEB #C3019) and triplicate plating was performed. Transformation results were averaged and graphed as a percentage of the highest performing reaction, T/A ligation using the Blunt/TA Ligase Master Mix.


 
Q5™ AND Q5 HOT START
HIGH-FIDELITY DNA POLYMERASES
 

With ultra-high fidelity and ultra-low error rates, Q5 High-Fidelity DNA Polymerase provides superior performance with minimal optimization across a broad range of amplicons, regardless of GC content.
Five quality features of Q5:
1. Fidelity – the highest fidelity amplification
available (>50X higher than Taq)
 
2. Robustness – high specificity and yield with
minimal optimization
3. Coverage – superior performance for a broad
range of amplicons (from high AT to high GC)
4. Speed – short extension times
5. Amplicon length – robust amplifications
up to 20 kb

FEATURED PRODUCTS –
PNGASE F & PNGASE F (GLYCEROL FREE)
 

  • High performanceN-glycan core oligosaccharides remain intact for downstream analysis
  • Convenient and flexible protocols – Fast reaction setup; use under both native and denaturing conditions; compatible with protease inhibitor cocktails
  • Multiple formats – Glycerol-free format, which is compatible with downstream HPLC and mass spec analysis
  • Exceptional quality – Purified to >95%; no contaminating proteases, exoglycosidases or non-specific endoglycosidases; 24-months of stability
High purity – no detectable endoglycosidase F1 activity in NEB's PNGase F
Panel A: 20 pmol Man5-2AA. Elution off Amide-80 column occurs at 17.90 minutes with a fluorescence peak area of 13142. Panel B: 20 pmol Man5-2AA after incubation with 5,000 units of PNGase F for 20 hours at 37°C. Elution off Amide-80 column occurs at 17.77 minutes with a fluorescence peak area of 13265. Man5-2AA remains intact following PNGase F incubation, confirming no detection of Endoglycosidase F1 activity.

Q:

Is PNGase F compatible with downstream analysis, such as HPLC and Mass Spectrometry, and can it be used in a double digest with O-Glycosidase?
A: Yes, PNGase F and O-Glycosidase (NEB #P0733) can be used together in a double digest under either denaturing or non-denaturing (native) conditions. Both endoglycosidases can be used concomitantly in a reaction with 1X Glycoprotein Denaturing Buffer, 1X G7 Reaction Buffer, 10% NP40, Neuraminidase (NEB #P0720), H20 and the glycoprotein of interest.

PNGase F (Glycerol Free) used under non-denaturing conditions is recommended when downstream analysis will include HPLC and/or Mass Spectrometry, due to the fact that glycerol, SDS, and NP-40 are not tolerated in those instruments.

A typical non-denaturing reaction protocol for a double digest is as follows:
1. Combine 1-20 µg of glycoprotein, 2 µl of 10X G7 Reaction Buffer, 2 µl of Neuraminidase and H2O (if necessary) to make a 20 µl total reaction volume.
2. Add 5 µl of PNGase F (Glycerol Free) and 5 µl O-Glycosidase.
3. Incubate reaction at 37°C for 4 hours.
