Explore the key role that restriction enzymes play in genetic engineering with this kit. Study the techniques used in separating and identifying DNA fragments by using DNA restricted with a variety of enzymes. Plot a standard curve of measured migration distance against the known actual base pair size for each band. This data is used to determine the size of unknown fragments based upon their migration distance on the gel. Students learn the function of restriction enzymes, their use in creating recombinant organisms and their overall importance in genetic engineering. Includes pre-digested DNA and a highly sensitive and safe DNA stain that provides quick results. Comprehensive coverage of the principles and practice of electrophoresis. Kit includes 10 gels.
