not getting transformants - (Aug/20/2007 )

You meant that when you designed primers, there were no add-on bases in front of the NdeI site, for example:
5'-AAAAAACATATGNNNNNNN (the N sequence is your gene sequence) -3'

If there is no add-on, the efficiency of digestion of your PCR product is greatly reduced. That counts for both enzymes, not only NdeI. But of course some enzymes are pickier than others.

for NdeI is even worst.

5'-CATATGNNNNNNN (the N sequence is your gene sequence) -3'

Without any skirting, the NdeI site will not cut. NdeI is one of the picker enzymes.

thank you
i will go for new primers as you said and iwill try that
before going to order any other precautions to fallow in addition for better result
please suggest
thank you
