Preparation of dNTP's.
The quick protocol for ~100mM stock
dilute all four dNTP's (250mg of each) in 3.676ml of H2O;
+ 424µl 5M NaOH;
check the pH: ~0.5µl on pH-paper.
Accurate protocol for 100mM stocks preparation
add the necessary quantity (see table) of H2O and Tris base 1M (it is possible to take the volume of salt as ~150µl);

check the pH: ~0.5µl on pH-paper;
check the quality and concentration (it is useful to take final dilution 1:5000 (~20µM). In this case the optical density will be in the region of Am~0.3 - the most accurate range for spectrophotometer).
Concentration is c[mM]=k1:5000xAm.
C16TAB - hexadecyl trimethylammonium bromide;
LysoPC - lysophosphatidylcholine.
* Sodium cholate and sodium deoxycholate are unsoluble at <pH 7.5 or at ionic strength greater then 0.1%. SDS may precipitate below 20oC;
** Ionic detergents may induce problems with electrophoresis and isoelectric focusing;
*** It is possible to remove by dialysis;
**** Phenol -containing detergents (for example Triton X-100 and NP-40) precipitate during Folin protein assay (but do not interfere with Bradford protein assay).
