Highlights
- Easy purification of high-quality DNA from whole blood, buffy coat, swabs, or cultured cells.
- Protocol excludes the use of Proteinase K and organic denaturants for biofluid and cell samples.
- Eluted, inhibitor-free DNA is ideal for PCR, endonuclease digestion, bisulfite conversion/methylation detection, sequencing, genotyping, etc.
Description
| Elution Volume | ≥50 µl |
|---|---|
| Equipment | Microcentrifuge, Vortex |
| Purity | High-quality DNA is eluted with DNA Elution Buffer or water. DNA is especially well suited for PCR and other downstream applications. A260/A280>1.8 |
| Sample Source | Whole blood, plasma, or serum from humans, mice, rats, etc. Cells from culture, buccal cells, as well as a variety of biological liquids are effectively processed using this kit. Tissue already digested with Proteinase K or mechanically homogenized. |
| Size Range | Capable of recovering genomic DNA up to and above 40 kb. In most instances, mitochondrial DNA and viral DNA (if present) will also be recovered |
| Workflow | Unique lysis buffer system omits the need for Proteinase K digestion for biological fluids and cell culture samples. |
| Yield | Up to 25 µg total DNA is eluted into ≥50 µl (30 µl minimum) DNA Elution Buffer or water. Human whole blood yields 3-7 µg DNA per 100 µl blood sampled. Mammalian tissues already homogenized will yield 1-3 µg DNA per mg. |
Q1: What is the difference between Quick-DNA and Quick-DNA Plus kits?
The Quick-DNA is optimized for cells, soft tissues, and homogenized/digested samples using a single lysis/binding buffer. The Quick-DNA Plus kits contain an optimized Proteinase K for processing a wider variety of sample inputs, such as cells, blood, tissues, etc. The upgraded Quick-DNA Plus typically recovers more DNA.
Q2: I’m seeing some yield inconsistencies with my blood samples, what’s happening?
White blood cells, which are the major source of genomic DNA in blood, easily and quickly settles. Mix the blood sample well prior to taking an aliquot for purification.
Q3: Can the Quick-DNA kit be used with bacterial samples?
E.coli cells are easy-to-lyse and can be processed directly. For other microbes, additional pretreatment (e.g. enzymatic digestion or mechanical lysis) can be implemented and then processed with the Quick-DNA Kit. Alternatively, for an all-inclusive kit to process all microbes, use any of Zymo Research’s Environmental Kits (e.g. Quick-DNA Fungal/Bacterial, Quick-DNA Fecal/Soil, ZymoBIOMICS DNA, etc.) for DNA isolation.
Q4: Can I use the Quick-DNA kit to clean-up previously isolated DNA?
No, the kit is designed for direct use with biological samples. For clean-up of isolated DNA, please use the Genomic DNA Clean & Concentrator or the DNA Clean & Concentrator kits.
Q5: Can Quick-DNA process crude lysates?
Yes, add 4 volumes of Genomic Lysis Buffer to 1 volume of crude lysate, homogenized, or digested sample (see Cell Suspensions and Proteinase K Digested Samples) and proceed with the remainder of the protocol.
Q6: What is the purpose of adding beta-mercaptoethanol? Can this step be substituted or omitted?
Beta-mercaptoethanol is a reducing agent that helps break down proteins and improves DNA recovery and purity. Addition of beta-mercaptoethanol is recommended to enhance sample lysis, but can be substituted with dithiothreitol (DTT, final concentration of 10 mM) or omitted.
Q7: Is it possible to add an RNase A treatment to the protocol?
The Quick-DNA kits recover RNA-free genomic DNA. The selective chemistry allows for binding of double stranded DNA to the column and for RNA to flow through. No RNase A treatment is required when processing samples within kit specifications.
Q8: What are the expected yields for each sample type?
Keep in mind that there is sample to sample variability.
| Sample Type | Input Amount | Expected Yield |
|---|---|---|
| Eukaryotic Cells | 1x106 Cells | 5-6 µg |
| Skeletal, Heart, Lung, Brain Tissue | 1 mg | 1-3 µg |
| Liver and Kidney Tissue | 1 mg | 3-5 µg |
| Human Whole Blood | 100 µl | 5-7 µg |
“It was easy to work with, protocol easy to follow”
-Tinatin T.
“This kit did a good job of prepping clean genomic DNA.”
-Tara N. (United States Agricultural Research Service)
"This product was amazing! I"ve used the same type of kit (quick DNA extract) from Sigma and this was far more superior. I used the same amount of postnatal tissue as I would have for the Sigma kit, however the yield I obtained from Zymo was quite astounding considering the time of tissue digestion. Secondly, the gDNA was much "cleaner" upon measurement with our NanoDrop! "
-Stephen C. (Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine)

我在看基因方面的文献。基因位点C802T的氨基酸改变H268Y是什么意思啊。求大神指教
只有9个氨基酸，分子量1KD左右，想免疫小鼠制备单抗，有没有前辈做过这方面的东西？想了一些方法，但价值不大，请前辈们指教，不甚感激。
在一些解热镇痛药注射剂中，为避免药物发黄变色，又加入了氨基酸抗氧化剂（除了亚硫酸氢钠外）。氨基酸抗氧化剂有哪些呢，常用的。查了一下，含S的抗氧化剂有甲硫氨酸(Met)和半胱氨酸(Cys)，是这些吗？还是有其他常用的呢？
氨基酸的结构通式：氨基酸是指一类含有羧基并在与羧基相连的碳原子下连有氨基的有机化合物。
人体所需的氨基酸约有22种，分非必需氨基酸和必需氨基酸（须从食物中供给）。另有酸性、碱性、中性、杂环分类，是根据其化学性质分类的。
1、必需氨基酸（essential amino acid）： 指人体（或其它脊椎动物）不能合成或合成速度远不适应机体的需要，必需由食物蛋白供给，这些氨基酸称为必需氨基酸。共有10种其作用分别是：
（一） 赖氨酸（Lysine ）：促进大脑发育，是肝及胆的组成成分，能促进脂肪代谢，调节松果腺、乳腺、黄体及卵巢，防止细胞退化；
（二） 色氨酸（Tryptophane）：促进胃液及胰液的产生；
（三） 苯丙氨酸（Phenylalanine）：参与消除肾及膀胱功能的损耗；
（四） 蛋氨酸（又叫甲硫氨酸）（Methionine）；参与组成血红蛋白、组织与血清，有促进脾脏、胰脏及淋巴的功能；
（五） 苏氨酸（Threonine）：有转变某些氨基酸达到平衡的功能；
（六） 异亮氨酸（Isoleucine ）：参与胸腺、脾脏及脑下腺的调节以及代谢；脑下腺属总司令部作用于甲状腺、性腺；
（七） 亮氨酸（Leucine ）：作用平衡异亮氨酸；
（八） 缬氨酸（Viline）：作用于黄体、乳腺及卵巢。
（九） 组氨酸（Hlstidine）：作用于代谢的调节；
（十） 精氨酸（Argnine）：促进伤口愈合，精子蛋白成分。
2、非必需氨基酸（nonessential amino acid）：指人（或其它脊椎动物）自己能由简单的前体合成，不需要从食物中获得的氨基酸。例如甘氨酸、丙氨酸等氨基酸。
氨基酸的分类：1、根据侧链基团的极性①非极性氨基酸（疏水氨基酸）8种丙氨酸（Ala）缬氨酸（Val）亮氨酸（Leu）异亮氨酸（Ile）脯氨酸（Pro）苯丙氨酸（Phe）色氨酸（Trp）蛋氨酸（Met）②极性氨基酸（亲水氨基酸）：极性不带电荷：7种甘氨酸（Gly）丝氨酸（Ser）苏氨酸（Thr）半胱氨酸（Cys）酪氨酸（Tyr）天冬酰胺（Asn）谷氨酰胺（Gln）极性带正电荷的氨基酸（碱性氨基酸） 3种 赖氨酸（Lys）精氨酸（Arg）组氨酸（His）极性带负电荷的氨基酸（酸性氨基酸） 2种 天冬氨酸（Asp）谷氨酸（Glu）2、根据化学结构脂肪族氨基酸：丙、缬、亮、异亮、蛋、天冬、谷、赖、精、甘、丝、苏、半胱、天冬酰胺、谷氨酰胺芳香族氨基酸：苯丙氨酸、酪氨酸杂环族氨基酸：组氨酸、色氨酸杂环亚氨基酸：脯氨酸3、从营养学的角度①必需氨基酸（essential amino acid）： 指人体（或其它脊椎动物）不能合成或合成速度远不适应机体的需要，必需由食物蛋白供给，这些氨基酸称为必需氨基酸。成人必需氨基酸的需要量约为蛋白质需要量的20%～37%。共有8种其作用分别是：赖氨酸：促进大脑发育，是肝及胆的组成成分，能促进脂肪代谢，调节松果腺、乳腺、黄体及卵巢，防止细胞退化；色氨酸：促进胃液及胰液的产生；苯丙氨酸：参与消除肾及膀胱功能的损耗；蛋氨酸（甲硫氨酸）：参与组成血红蛋白、组织与血清，有促进脾脏、胰脏及淋巴的功能；苏氨酸：有转变某些氨基酸达到平衡的功能；异亮氨酸：参与胸腺、脾脏及脑下腺的调节以及代谢；脑下腺属总司令部作用于甲状腺、性腺；亮氨酸：作用平衡异亮氨酸；缬氨酸：作用于黄体、乳腺及卵巢。②半必需氨基酸和条件必需氨基酸：精氨酸：精氨酸与脱氧胆酸制成的复合制剂（明诺芬）是主治梅毒、病毒性黄疸等病的有效药物。组氨酸：可作为生化试剂和药剂，还可用于治疗心脏病，贫血，风湿性关节炎等的药物。人体虽能够合成精氨酸和组氨酸，但通常不能满足正常的需要，因此，又被称为半必需氨基酸或条件必需氨基酸，在幼儿生长期这两种是必需氨基酸。人体对必需氨基酸的需要量随着年龄的增加而下降，成人比婴儿显著下降。（近年很多资料和教科书将组氨酸划入成人必需氨基酸）③非必需氨基酸（nonessentialamino acid）：指人（或其它脊椎动物）自己能由简单的前体合成，不需要从食物中获得的氨基酸。例如甘氨酸、丙氨酸等氨基酸。
在营养学的范畴里，组氨酸被认为是一种人类必需的氨基酸，主要是儿童。在发育多年之后，人类开始可以自己合成它，在这时便成为非必需氨基酸了。在慢性尿毒症患者的膳食中添加少量的组氨酸，氨基酸结合进入血红蛋白的速度增加，肾原性贫血减轻，所以组氨酸也是尿毒症患者的必需氨酸。 在组氨酸脱羧酶的作用下，组氨酸脱羧形成组胺。组胺具有很强的血管舒张作用，并与多种变态反应及发炎有关。此外，组胺会刺激胃蛋白酶与胃酸。
没有这8种氨基酸就会发生由于缺乏营养所引起的疾病;氨基酸在医药上也有很大的用途，现在手术中输液都加有各种氨基酸，使患者的抵抗力增强，同时也增加营养。随着人民生活水平的提高，人们对摄入的营养物质的要求越来越高，尤其是幼儿、青少年的健康成长，疾病患者的康复，都迫切需要高质量的营养物质，所以有效开发氨基酸食品是很有必要的。
