Role of te in dna extraction?

TE stands for Tris and EDTA. The Tris buffers the water to prevent acid hydrolysis of the DNA/RNA. The EDTA chelates divalent cations that can assist in the degradation of RNA.


What is the role of DEPC in RNA isolation?

It inactivate the RNase and prevent RNA to denature.


What is the role of NaCl in RNA isolation?

The role of NaCl or sodium chloride in RNA isolation is part of the denaturing process. It is often called the wash step.


What is the role of TRIreagent in RNA isolation?

Break open the cells, stabilize RNA, inhibit RNAse.


Why ph8 is maintained during isolation of plasmid?

EDTA is dissolved only at pH8. EDTA serves as an important chelating agent to kill the contaminating DNAses. Also this is close to the physoological pH which is pH7.

it solubilize the lipids and protein and remove them.


What is the use of guanidine isothiocyanate and NaOAc in the isolation of RNA?

Guanidine isothiocyanate helps denature proteins from the RNA to allow them to be separated from protein for the best isolation of nucleic acids from proteins (can collect all 3 if using TRIzol like reagents)NAoAc (sodium acetate) usually in 3M/pH8 is used later in the steps for nucleic acid isolation as the salt for ethanol precipitation. If you are going to be doing RNA transcription off of DNA templates that you are precipitating, it is best to use Nh4oAC (ammonium acetate) as the ion is nicer to RNA polymerases once templates are cleaned and being transcribed.
