Comments

The high concentration of polyphenols in many plants is a problem for isolating nucleic acids, as these substances will inhibit enzymes in the following procedures. They can be absorbed by the addition of 1 % polyvinylpyrolidone K30 (v/v; final concentration) during the tissue homogenization (ref. 1 page 2.3.4). PVP should be prepared fresh as a 20 % stock each time (2).Positively charged nylon membranes used in immunoblots show a high non-specific background. Therefore, these surfaces have to be blocked, in case of the nylon membrane in a very stringent way. Casein (6 % w/v) in combination with 1 % (v/v) polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) can be applied. Both substances are dissolved by stirring for 5 minutes in warm (65°C) TTBS buffer.
