Site-Directed Mutagenesis
"Mutate" is a 2nd generation Site-Directed Mutagenesis service which offers the following advantages over traditional approaches:
-
More To Mutate: Substitutions or insertions of up to 24 consecutive bp; fragment deletion of unlimited size. Simultaneous modifications at two or three different sites. Amazing possibilities (examples below)!
-
Highest Fidelity Reaction: Novel PCR-based approach using the highest fidelity polymerase identified to date (10 to 20 times higher fidelity than the Pfu used in QuickChange) makes unwanted second-site errors a thing of the past.
-
Affordable Service: as low as $139 for a single reaction and $89 for bulk orders!
-
Rapid: Mutated plasmid typically delivered 8-12 days after reception of the original plasmid.
-
Relax: This is a service, not a kit... Send us your plasmids and the desired mutations and you'll receive a Miniprep of the mutated plasmids and the corresponding DNA sequencing data (Maxiprep or larger amounts available at extra cost).
Examples of Mutations which can be performed in a single reaction:
...ATGCTGGTCCTAAGCCATTCAGCGTCCATCTTAGCTCACCGTAAGCTC... Original vector
...ATGCTGGTCCTAAGCCATTCAGCGTCCATCTCCACTCACCGTAAGCTC... Mutation 1 (substitutions)
...ATGCTGGCGCGTATCCCGAGCTAGGATTTCGTAGCTCACCGTAAGCTC... Mutation 2 (substitutions)
...ATG------------------------------------------CTC... Mutation 3 (deletion)
...ATGCTGGTCCTAAGCCATTCAGCGTCCATCTTAGTACCGATCGCTCACCGTAAGCTC... Mutation 4 (insertion)
Material provided by customers:
-
Original plasmid to mutate (>500 ng).
-
DNA sequence (as text) of the original plasmid and the mutated plasmid. Please use the template file downloadable below on this page to provide all the necessary information.
Deliverables:
-
Miniprep of the mutated plasmid (Maxiprep or higher amounts available - optional).
-
DNA sequence data file surrounding the mutation (extended coverage available upon request).
Mutant Libraries:
Our site-directed mutagenesis approach offers great flexibility and can be adapted to the preparation of various types of mutant libraries such as:
-
Single Point and Scanning Point libraries: Substitution to any of the 19 common amino acids at single or multiple positions. Delivered as isolated or pool of variants.
-
Randomized and Degenerated Libraries: Any modification, within 24 bp. Delivered as a pool of variants.

Fact: A small lab of 1000 sq.ft uses in average 200 kWh of electricity per day (www.goodcampus.org), emiting ~250 lbs of CO2. This generates as much greenhouse gases as a car driving from Seattle, WA to Miami, FL every day.
