Outline of the Workshop
  • Overview of molecule types and creation methods
  • Major steps and tools for molecule construction
    and design
  • Construct a new DNA molecule
  • Design a new DNA molecule
  • Using simulated gel electrophoresis to analyze
    cloned products

3
Fundamental Molecule Types in Vector NTI
  • Basic Molecules (DNA/RNA/Protein)
  • Not built from component fragments
  • Sequences and features are either entered by
    users or imported from other databases.
  • Constructed DNA/RNA Molecules
  • Built from one or more fragments (parent
    molecules, linkers, adapters, etc.)
  • Automatically receive the Feature map and
    sequences from the parent molecules.
  • Constructed Protein Molecules
  • Translated from a coding sequence of a DNA
    molecule
  • Does not receive the Feature map from its
    parent DNA molecule

4
Methods of Creating New Molecule in Vector NTI
  • Basic Molecules (DNA/RNA/Protein)
  • Importing molecules or sequences
  • Manually creating new molecules
  • Constructed DNA/RNA Molecules
  • Splicing exons of an intron-exon join feature
    of another molecules
  • Constructing from compatible component
    fragments from other molecules
  • Designing from components of a user-defined
    fragments list
  • Back-translating from protein molecules from
    components of a user-defined fragments list
  • Constructed Protein Molecules
  • Splicing exons of a gene
  • Translating from DNA molecules

5
Molecule Construction vs. Molecule Design
  • Recipient and donor fragments are defined by
    users.
  • Restriction sites are defined by users.
  • When required, the methods of terminus
    modification are defined by users.
  • Recipient and donor fragments are defined by
    users.
  • Restriction sites are analyzed and generated by
    Vector NTI.
  • Methods of terminus modification are determined
    by Vector NTI.

6
Major Tools for Molecular Construction and
Molecular Design
  • Fragment Wizard
  • Construct fragments (define positions and
    termini)
  • Design recipient/donor fragments (define
    termini)
  • Add defined fragments to the Goal Molecule
    Definition List
  • The Goal Molecule Definition List
  • Contains the list of fragments defined and
    added by the user using the Fragment Wizard
  • Serves as the starting point of molecular
    construction and design
  • Designs from components of a user-defined
    fragments list
  • The Construct/Design Molecule Dialog Box
  • Allows users to set the construction
    parameters and design preferences
  • Allows users to enter information about the
    new molecule

7
Major Steps for Molecule Construction
  • Use Fragment Wizard to define component
    fragments.
  • Add defined fragments to the Goal Molecule List.
  • Use the Construct Molecule Dialog Box to set
    construction parameters, including necessary
    terminus modifications.
  • Name, select data and describe the new molecule.
  • Verify and edit the component fragments in the
    Goal Molecule Definition List
  • Initiate molecule construction.

    the EcoRI site in the graphic pane to set the 3
    terminus. Click Finish
  • 6. Check the description of the fragment in the
    New Fragment message box. Click Cancel to go
    back to the Fragment Wizard if there are errors,
    otherwise, click Add to List to add the 1st
    fragment to the Molecule Goal List.
  • B. Define the donor pBR322 fragment
    (5EcoRI3AvaI) following the above steps

10

    with the pBR322 cohesive 3AvaI terminus).
  • Click the OK button to acknowledge the messages
    and return to the Construct Molecule dialog box
    Click the Close button to return
  • You now need to modify the termini to make them
    compatible for the ligation.

13
A Molecule Construction ExampleStep 4
Construct the new molecule/modify the terminus

21
A Molecule Design ExampleStep 4 Prepare to
design the new molecule
  • In the Design Molecule screen, click Design
    button

  • In this example, select Palindromes/Non-Ambiguous
    REN subset, and leave other parameters at their
    default value.

22
A Molecule Design ExampleStep 5 Configure
preferences for molecule design
  • In the Design Parameter dialog box, click the
    Preference button
  • Choose your preferred parameters to create new
    molecules.
  • In this example deselect Ligation-BluntBlunt
    option, so Vector NTI will ensure all fragments
    have at least one cohesive end.

    process. Add them to the display by using the
    Molecular Display Setup dialog box Restriction
    Map Setup.
  • Inspect Design Plan In the Text Pane, open the
    Design Description Folder and subfolder Step 1.
    Highlights of the bench instruction for creating
    the new molecule
  • No biochemical operations needed to modify the
    termini as they are compatible.
  • The selected cloning option gives the required
    orientation of the cloned pBR322 fragment in the
    pUC19 recipient
  • One of the recipients restriction sites is
    lost after ligation, this gives a mean for
    pre-selecting properly ligated molecule before
    transformation.
  • The new restriction site in the recombinant
    molecule that does not exist in the recipient
    allows one to use restriction analysis of the
    clones.
  • Vector NTI also recommends oligos or PCR
    primers for clone analysis.
  • Vector NTI also lists restriction sites that
    can be used to isolate the closed fragments.
