Hello,

I am trying to made saturation mutations at two different positions. I used QuickChange II mutagenesis kit and it is very powerful (the single saturation mutagenesis works)

However, I added four primers into the reaction and run the PCR, the sequence result shows that either position one has been mutated or either position has been mutated. It was very disappointing that I could not find both two sites have been mutated.

I tried several ways to create double-site saturation mutagenesis library

  • Use the first PCR reaction as template and run 2nd PCR
  • I grew up the colonies from the plate containing single-site saturation mutants and use that DNA as template, redo mutagenesis.
  • However, neither of these works.
