Hi All,

I need suggestion for deleting a single nucleotide which is not in frame by Quick change.
I made a clone with MBP_TEVPROTEASE_MYPEPTIDE.After sequenced the plasmid i found one single nucleotide
is there extra .Which makes the frame shift.If i delete that nucleotide everything will be alright.

Here is my sequence:

CCCTGAAAGACGCGCAGACTCCGGGTAGCCTGGAAGTTCTGTTCCAGGGGCCCATGGGAA my plasmid


Extra nucleotide indicated in RED COLOR.


My question is can i use "quick change mutageneis method" to delete a SINGLE nucleotide?
Had anyone tried Quick change kit to delete a single nucleotide?

this should be no problem!

but keep in mind that you have to completly get rid of the template you used for the pcr ...this is the most important the step. The PCR itselfe should be no problem!

Sure, you can delete a single or multiple nucleotides, no problem. Can you provide us with some more nucleotides 5' of your deletion site? Let's say, 30 to each side?
I am a bit worried about your GGGGCCC there...

Thank you for your reply.

here is the sequence (not the full).But 30 bp from each side to the mutation point.

QuikChange Primer Design Program from Agilent suggests FORWARD gttccaggggcccatggaaaacttatatttccaag and REVERSE cttggaaatataagttttccatgggcccctggaac for your mutagenesis. So no problem, it seems.

Thank you for your valuable suggestions.
