Transformation why heat shock




















Often, we use plasmid vectors , which are circular pieces of DNA that we put into bacteria. The cells we normally use are different strains of e. At tunnels called zones of adhesion, these 2 membranes are fused.

They orient tail to tail to form a barrier surrounding the cell. DNA also has a negative charge because of the phosphate groups in its backbone. This helps it stay water-soluble, but it also makes it normally repulsive to the outside of the membrane like charges repel. It is a type of ion charged particle , and it's "opposite" is the anion, which is negatively-charged.

The " of charges" is referred to as the valency. Cations are attracted to anions and can form strong non-covalent bonds with them referred to as "ionic bonds" or "salt bridges. Click here to view.

To introduce the desired plasmid into chemically competent cells, the plasmid DNA is mixed with chilled cells and incubated on ice to allow the plasmid to come into close contact with the cells. The heated mixture is then placed back on ice to retain the plasmids inside the bacteria. Many cells do not survive the rapid temperature change but enough maintain integrity to keep the plasmid and, when medium is added, recover and divide.

For electroporation, the competent cells also sit on ice with the plasmid DNA. However, the plasmid-cell mixture is exposed to an electrical current, opening pores in the cell membrane so that the plasmid can enter the cell. Some cells do not survive this treatment but many are able to replicate once medium is added. If the plasmid DNA solution has too much salt in it, arcing can occur, compromising the transformation.

Depending on the transformation method used, a plasmid can enter the cell through holes or pores in the bacterial cell wall created by salt washes and heat treatment or no-salt washes and electroporation. Both methods allow efficient recovery of transformed cells using antibiotic selection for the plasmid of interest.
