5. DNA Sequencing pp 379 - 381
Fredrick Sanger Developed dideoxy termination sequencing method Nobel Laureate, 1980 Nobel Laureate, 1958; determined insulin sequence
DNA Sequencing The components of a sequencing reaction are:
dideoxyribose when both oxygen atoms removed deoxyribose when oxygen removed 3’ OH functional group necessary for DNA elongation
DNA Sequencing Four reactions are set up; one for each possible nucleotide. A G T C 15% dATP 25% dATP 25% dGTP 15% dGTP 25% dTTP 15% dTTP 25% dCTP 15% dCTP 10% ddATP 10% ddGTP 10% ddTTP 10% ddCTP
