    N-terminal deletion primers

    Hi all
    I need to construct a N-terminal deletion of a protein through PCR. I was told that the best way to do it is to amplify the C-terminal region with a Nde1 and BamH1 recognition site and insert it into a suitable vector.
    I have a couple of questions regarding the primer design:
    I assume that there has to be an ATG codon just before the C-terminus so that the translation starts there.Am I right??
    Also, the BamH1 recognition site is GGATCC....will this additonal insertion in the primer affect its ability to anneal to the parent template?
    Thanks!!
    P.S: I am not a molecular biologist and hence not too familiar with PCR methods.
