1. A lyophilized tube of siRNA needs to be re-constituted to a final concentration of 2 µg/µl. On the tube it states that 330 µl makes a solution of 10 µM siRNA. What volume of RNAse-free water should be used to give the final concentration of 2 µg/µl?

You purchase 400 nmoles (nanomoles) of this protein from a pharmaceutical company. It is shipped to you in the form of a dried pellet of white powder in the bottom of a test tube. What volume of water must you add to this powder to produce a protein solution, the final concentration of which is 10 µM (micromolar)? Express your answer in ml (milliliters).

You receive data back from the Qubit showing that your total RNA concentration is 2.5 μg/mL. The sample run on the Qubit was diluted 100-fold, so you must correct for this to determine the actual concentration. For the same RNA sample, the Nanodrop gives you a value of 273 ng/μL. 1. How does the concentration from the Nanodrop compare to the concentration from the Qubit? SHOW your data and unit conversions in your answer. Why do you think your concentrations from the Nanodrop and Qubit might be different? 2. If you need 1 μg of total RNA for the mRNA isolation step, what volume of your total RNA sample would you need (in μL) and which concentration should you use for this calculation and why? Please show calculations!

• Calculate all volumes needed for 1 μg RNA • Bring up volume to 10 μl each with DEPC water • Group 1: RNA at 134 ng/μl • Group 2: RNA at 526 ng/μl • Group 3: RNA at 241 ng/μl • Group 4: RNA at 377 ng/μl • Group 5: RNA at 111 ng/μl Each group has 20 μl of purified RNA solution per experimental condition. (One tube for the serum+ cells, one for serum-) Would you have enough RNA to run 4 RT-PCR reactions?
