| Source | An E.coli strain that carries the cloned HgaI gene from Haemophilus gallinarum |
| Assayed on | DNA pBR322 |
| Unit definition | One unit of the enzyme is the amount required to hydrolyze 1 μg of DNA pBR322 in 1 hour at 37°C in a total reaction volume of 50 μl. |
| Optimal SE-buffer | B (10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.6 at 25°C); 10 mM MgCl2; 1 mM DTT.) |
| Enzyme activity (%) | | B | G | O | W | Y | Rose | | 100 | 75 - 100 | 10 - 25 | 25 - 50 | 50 - 75 | 50 |
|
| Optimal temperature | 37oC |
| Storage conditions | 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5); 50 mM NaCl; 0.1 mM EDTA; 1 mM DTT; 200 μg/ml BSA; 50% glycerol; Store at -20°C. |
| Ligation | After 3-fold overdigestion with enzyme more than 90% of the DNA fragments can be ligated and recut. |
| Non-specific hydrolisis | Incubation with > 2 units of HgaI per 1 μg of DNA and digestion > 1 hour are not recommended.
