Procedure
• Generate a table of binding reaction parameters and DNaseI concentrations. All reactions must be in triplicate and a BSA control must be included. It is often wise to include a (-DNaseI) lane as well; this serves as a marker for the relative amount of intact probe remaining and to ensure that there is no nonspecific degradation of the probe.
• Mix the ingredients of the reaction in the following order:
i) Q up to 30
ii) 3
iii) 2-3
iv) 1
v) 100
• Incubate at room temperature for 30 minutes. During the last 5 minutes, prepare the DNaseI dilutions in DNaseI Dilution Buffer (concentrations vary: 0.125-5
• Systematically add 1
• When all the tubes are finished add 500
• Spin in the microfuge for 15 minutes, aspirate most of the EtOH and get the last bit by hand. Dry in the speedvac and resuspend in 6
