PCR-Generated DNA Templates<br />

For PCR-generated templates, the T7 TNT® PCR Enhancer<br />

should be included in the transcription/translation reaction.<br />

Assemble the reaction components (below) in a 0.5ml or<br />

1.5ml microcentrifuge tube. After addition of all the<br />

components, gently mix by pipetting. If necessary,<br />

the tube. For the control reaction, use 1µl of the Luciferase<br />

Control DNA supplied.<br />

Note: We recommend also including a negative control<br />

reaction containing no added template to allow<br />

measurement of background incorporation of labeled amino<br />

acids.<br />
