Product Information

Description

[Icon] Already using the Q5® Site-Directed Mutagenesis Kit? Try NEBaseChanger® for primer design help.    

KLD Enzyme Mix is a unique blend of Kinase, Ligase and DpnI enzymes. This formulation allows efficient phosphorylation, intramolecular ligation/circularization and template removal in a single 5 minute reaction step at room temperature. This master mix is a component of the Q5 Site-Directed Mutagenesis Kits and it has been designed for use with fragments that have been PCR-amplified by Q5 Hot Start High-Fidelity DNA Polymerase.

Overview of Q5® Site-directed Mutagenesis (SDM) workflow
This kit is designed for rapid and efficient incorporation of insertions, deletions and substitutions into double-stranded plasmid DNA. The first step is an exponential amplification using standard primers and a master mix formulation of Q5 Hot Start High-Fidelity DNA Polymerase. The second step involves incubation with a unique enzyme mix containing a kinase, a ligase and DpnI. Together, these enzymes allow for rapid circularization of the PCR product and removal of the template DNA. The last step is a high-efficiency transformation into chemically competent cells (provided).

FAQs & Troubleshooting

FAQs

  1. Is the KLD Mix (NEB#M0554) the same product as the component of the Q5 Site-Directed Mutagenesis Kits (E0554S and E0552S)?
  2. What polymerases can be used to amplify the fragments that will be phosphorylated and ligated by the KLD mix?
  3. Do I need to purify my PCR-amplified fragments before or after treatment with the KLD mix?
  4. What is the KLD Mix?
  5. If I double my PCR size, should I add more PCR mix to the KLD reaction?
  6. Can I use more than 5μl of the KLD reaction to transform E coli?
  7. Can the KLD reaction be incubated longer or at higher temperature?
  8. I use the Q5 Site-Directed Mutagenesis Kit to introduce single mutations. How can I introduce multiple mutations?

Tech Tips

Only use 5 μl of the KLD reaction in the transformation. If more KLD reaction is added, a buffer exchange step, such as PCR purification, should be included prior to transformation.

Only use 1 μl of PCR product in the KLD reaction. Carrying too much PCR product forward can decrease transformation efficiency. If the PCR yield is low, more product can be added to the KLD reaction, however a buffer exchange step, such as PCR purification, must be included prior to transformation.
