HELINI DNA Ligation Teaching kit
DescriptionThe discovery of restriction enzymes
ushered in a new era of molecular
genetics. These enzymes cut the DNA
molecule in a highly specific and
reproducible way. This, in turn, has lead to
the development of molecular cloning and
the mapping of genetic structures. They
are essential tools for biotechnology.
Experiments contain DNA digested with
various restriction enzymes to demons-
trate patterns and frequency of cleavage.
Digests are separated by agarose gel
electrophoresis.

DescriptionThe final step in construction of
recombinant DNA molecule is the joining
together of the vector molecule and the
DNA to be cloned. This process is
referred to as ligation and the enzyme that
catalyses the reaction is called DNA
Ligases. The enzyme used in genetic
engineering for this purpose is usually T4
DNA ligase. The experiments designed
to learn about DNA ligase and its
specificity against cohesive end and blunt
end DNA fragments.

HELINI Transformation Teaching kit (Green Fluorescent Plasmid)
HELINI Transformation Teaching kit (Blue/White colony selection)
DescriptionBacterial transformation is of central
importance in molecular biology. It allows
for the propagation, genetic expression
and isolation of recombinant DNA
plasmids that have been constructed in
vitro as well as natural DNA molecules.
Transformation is also of historical
importance since the discovery, by Avery
in the late 1940's, that DNA was the
genetic material. The transformation
process involves the uptake of exogenous
DNA by cells which results in a newly
acquired genetic trait that is stable and
heritable. Bacterial cells must be in a
particular physiological state before they
can be transformed. This state is referred
to as competency.

Lane 1 & 3 : QuickRef 250bp DNA LadderLane 2: Amplified 500bp DNA
DescriptionThe polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a DNA amplification technique that has revolutionized almost all aspects of biological research. The PCR technique was invented in 1984 by Dr. Kary Mullis while at Cetus Corporation. Mullis was awarded a Nobel Prize for his work in 1994. PCR allows for the amplification of a small quantity of DNA over one million-fold. The enormous utility of PCR is based on its procedural simplicity and specificity. Since the first application of PCR to diagnose sickle cell anemia, a large number of diagnostic tests have been developed. Many such diagnostic tests have now become routine. PCR has also made the amplification of DNA an alternate approach to cloning experi- ments. PCR is also used extensively in forensics, paternity / kinship testing, and the identi fication of human remains.

HELINI Genomic DNA extraction Teaching kit
DescriptionThe isolation of high molecular weight
chromosomal DNA is often the first step in
molecular cloning. Large DNA is very
sensitive to mechanical shear which
causes random breaks in the phosphate
bonds of the molecule. However, if the
extraction procedure is performed
carefully, large fragments of chromosomal
DNA can be obtained with an average
fragment length of 100,000 to 200,000
base pairs. Since the average length of a
gene is about 2,000 base pairs, there is a
high probability that genes of interest will
remain unbroken in the fragments of DNA.
In subsequent steps, specific genes can
be cloned.

DescriptionIn addition to chromosomal DNA, a
bacterium may also carry an additional
piece of DNA called a plasmid. Bacterial
plasmids are a double stranded closed
circular DNA molecule that ranges in size
form 1 kb to more than 200 kb. Plasmids

HELINI Total RNA extraction Teaching kit
Description
RNA is a biological macromolecule that
serves a number of different functions.
Since RNA is able to perform functions
usually associated with DNA and proteins,
it has been suggested that RNA was the
original biological molecule, with
subsequent evolution of DNA and
proteins.
In molecular biology, reverse transcription
polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) is a
laboratory technique for amplifying a
defined piece of a ribonucleic acid (RNA)
molecule. The RNA strand is first reverse
transcribed into its DNA complement or
complementary DNA, followed by
amplification of the resulting DNA using
polymerase chain reaction. This can
either be a 1 or 2 step process.
Reverse transcription polymerase chain
reaction is widely used in the diagnosis of
genetic diseases and, quantitatively, in
the determination of the abundance of
specific different RNA molecules within a
cell or tissue as a measure of gene
expression. Northern blot is used to study
the RNA's gene expression further.
This kit demonstrate the complete
protocol starting from extraction from total
RNA , cDNA synthesis by Reverse
Transcrip- tase PCR and using gene
specific primer amplifying gene in PCR.

Description
RNA is a biological macromolecule that
serves a number of different functions.
Messenger RNA (mRNA), transcribed
from DNA, serves as a template for
synthesis of proteins. Protein synthesis is
carried out by ribosomes, which consist of
ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and proteins.
Amino acids for protein synthesis are
delivered to the ribosome on transfer RNA
(tRNA) molecules. RNAs are also part of
riboproteins involved in RNA processing.
In addition, many viruses contain RNA as
their genome instead of DNA, and RNA
species called ribozymes catalyze
biochemical reactions, similar to
enzymes. Since RNA is able to perform
functions usually associated with DNA
and proteins, it has been suggested that
RNA was the original biological molecule,
with subsequent evolution of DNA and
proteins.
Analyzing RNA is an important event in
Molecular Biology and this kit describes
procedures for successful stabilization,
purification, and analysis of RNA.

DescriptionMost biological molecules have a net
charge within a pH range of 2 to 10. When
the pH is altered, the net charge on
molecules can change drastically. In this
experiment, proteins are absorbed onto a
charged solid support ion-exchange
column and subsequently separated
during elution under conditions that
influence their net charge. Ion exchange
chromatography utilizes a solid support
(adsorbent) which contains either a
permanent positive (cation) or negative
(anion) charge. The separation of
compounds is based on equilibrium of the
molecules adsorbed to the exchanger
versus the elution solvent. This allows the
separation of molecules with small
differences in net charges.

which are very soluble in the solvent move
along with the advancing solvent front,
while less soluble compounds travel
slowly through the paper, well behind the

exchanged between Bacterial cells:
Transformation, Transduction, and
conjugation. Transformation is the
process in which genes are transferred

DNA in solution. Transduction is the
transfer of DNA from one cell to another by
a bacteriophage. But in conjugation two
bacteria of opposite mating types, when
brought together, exchange DNA this
result a new recombinant bacteria.
Bacteria of opposite mating type means
that there will be a Donor Bacterium (F+)

DescriptionIt is not surprising that pH dramatically affects bacterial growth. The pH affects the activity of enzymes especially those that are involved in biosynthesis and growth.
Many bacteria produce metabolic acids that may lower the pH and inhibit their growth. To prevent this, buffers that produce pH equilibrium are added to culture media to neutralize these acids. For example, the peptones in complex media act as buffers. Phosphate salts are often added as buffers in chemically defined media.
In this exercise, you will work in groups to see how pH affects the growth of several microorganisms.

that antigen. The “precipitation” is caused
by an immunoglobulin binding protein,
such as protein A or protein G,
immobilized to a solid support or bead.
The protein A or G binds the antibody-
antigen complex and the complex is
precipitated and removed from the
solution by spinning down the beads.
