SfaN I

Description

Recognition site and hydrolysis position:

Source: An E.coli strain that carries the cloned SfaN I gene from Streptococcus faecalis N
Unit definition:
One unit of the enzyme is the amount required to hydrolyze 1 μg of Lambda DNA in 1 hour at 37°C in a total reaction volume of 50 μl.
Assayed on:
Lambda DNA
Optimal SE-buffer: SE-buffer O
Enzyme activity (%):

Storage conditions: 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5); 300 mM NaCl; 0,1 mM EDTA; 1 mM DTT; 200 μg/ml BSA; 50% glycerol; Store at -20°C.
Ligations:
After 10-fold overdigestion with enzyme more than 95% of the DNA fragments can be ligated and recut.
