Vmedvil Posted November 30, 2022 Report Share Posted November 30, 2022 (edited) As of a few months ago this process was patented for making any viral vector, now without fear of this being used against my will I post it which is held by West Nanorobotics LLC until 2043. Synthetic Viral Synthesis Step I:Custom Oligonucleotide Synthesis Materials •Commerical Nucleic Acid Synthesizer •Solution of the four DNA phosphoramidite monomers (bases) •All the 5’-hydroxyl groups must be blocked with a DMT group for all four bases •All phosphorus linkages must be blocked with a cyanoethyl group. •Blocking solutions •Reaction chamber and a type of solid support such as controlled pore glass •The solid support should be prepared with the desired first base already attached via an ester linkage at the 3’-hydroxyl end. •Dichloroacetic acid or trichloroacetic acid •Tetrazole •Acetic anhydride and N-methylimidazole •Dilute iodine in a water/pyridine/tetrahydrofuran solution •Concentrated ammonia hydroxide. •Materials for one desalting method Process Step A: De-blocking The first base, which is attached to the solid support, is at first inactive because all the active sites have been blocked or protected. To add the next base, the DMT group protecting the 5'-hydroxyl group must be removed. This is done by adding a base, either dichloroacetic acid (DCA) or trichloroacetic acid in dichloromethane (DCM), to the reaction column. The 5’-hydroxyl group is now the only reactive group on the base monomer. This ensures that the addition of the next base will only bind to that site. The reaction column is then washed to remove any extra acid and by-products. Step B: Base Condensation The next base monomer cannot be added until it has been activated. This is achieved by adding tetrazole to the base. Tetrazole cleaves off one of the groups protecting the phosphorus linkage. This base is then added to the reaction column. The active 5’-hydroxyl group of the preceeding base and the newly activated phosphorus bind to loosely join the two bases together. This forms an unstable phosphite linkage. The reaction column is then washed to remove any extra tetrazole, unbound base and by-products. Step C: Capping When the activated base is added to the reaction column some does not bind to the active 5’- hydroxyl site of the previous base. If this group is left unreacted in a step it is possible for it to react in later additions of different bases. This would result in an oligonucleotide with a deletion. To prevent this from occurring, the unbound, active 5’-hydroxyl group is capped with a protective group which subsequently prohibits that strand from growing again. This is done by adding acetic anhydride and N-methylimidazole to the reaction column. These compounds only react with the 5’-hydroxyl group. The base is capped by undergoing acetylation. The reaction column is then washed to remove any extra acetic anhydride or N-methylimidazole. Step D: Oxidation In step 2 the next desired base was added to the previous base, which resulted in a unstable phosphite linkage. To stabalize this linkage a solution of dilute iodine in water, pyridine, and tetrahydrofuran is added to the reaction column. The unstable phosphite linkage is oxidized to form a much more stable phosphate linkage. Repeat as need based on length desired between 1 and 10,000 times. Final Product: DNA Chains from 1 to 10,000 base pairs in length. Step II:Molecular Cloning: Polymerase Chain Reaction(PCR) Materials -Thermal Cycler -Taq polymerase -Generated DNA Fragments Process A. Denaturation - the DNA is heated usually to 95C to render it single-stranded B. Annealing - the two primers bind the appropriate complementary strand; the temperature for this step varies depending on the of size of the primer and its homology to the target DNA C. Primer Extension - DNA polymerase extends the primer by its polymerase activity; this is done at a temperature optimal for the particular polymerase that is used; currently the most popular enzyme for this step is Taq polymerase, the DNA polymerase from the thermophilic ("heat-loving) bacteria Thermus aquaticus; the extension is performed at 72C. These steps are repeated from 28-35 times. Since the reaction is essentially exponential and since each cycle is about 5 minutes, a large quantity of DNA can be produced for analysis in as little as several hours. Final Product: Exponential DNA cloning Step III:Mass Ligation Reaction or Standard Ligation Reaction Materials •Two or more fragments of DNA that have either blunt or compatible cohesive ("sticky") ends. •A buffer which contains ATP. The buffer is usually provided or prepared as a 10X concentrate which, after dilution, yields an ATP concentration of roughly 0.25 to 1 mM. Most restriction enzyme buffers will work if supplemented with ATP. •T4 DNA ligase. A typical reaction for inserting a fragment into a plasmid vector (subcloning) would utilize about 0.01 (sticky ends) to 1 (blunt ends) units of ligase. Process The optimal incubation temperature for T4 DNA ligase is 16C and when very high efficiency ligation is desired (e.g. making libraries) this temperature is recommended. However, ligase is active at a broad range of temperatures, and for routine purposes such as subcloning, convenience often dictates incubation time and temperature - ligations performed at 4C overnight or at room temperature for 30 minutes to a couple of hours usually work well. Final Product: Every possible recombination or a Single Recombination Step IV:Activation and Reproduction : Plasmid Vector (sub-cloning) Materials -Anything with ribosomes -NotI Ligase Process Same as step III Final Product: Viral Vector Edited November 30, 2022 by Vmedvil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
