Product info: BstMA I Name BstMA I    Cat. # E291 E292 Package, u.a. 2000 10000 Concentration, u.a./ml 30000 30000 Recognition site GTCTC(N)1↑ CAGAG(N)5↓ Source Bacillus stearothermophilus MA Assayed on Lambda DNA Unit definition One unit of the enzyme is the amount required to hydrolyze 1 μg of Lambda DNA in 1 hour at 55°C in a total reaction volume of 50 μl. Optimal SE-buffer W (10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.5 at 25°C); 10 mM MgCl2; 100 mM NaCl; 1 mM DTT.) + BSA Enzyme activity (%) B G O W Y Rose 25 - 50 50 - 75 50 - 75 100 75 - 100 100 Optimal temperature 55oC Storage conditions 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5); 100 mM NaCl; 0.1 mM EDTA; 7 mM 2-mercaptoethanol; 100 μg/ml BSA; 50% glycerol; Store at -20°C. Ligation After 50-fold overdigestion with enzyme more than 90% of the DNA fragments can be ligated and recut. Non-specific hydrolisis No nonspecific activity was detected after incubation of 1 μg of Lambda DNA with 100 u.a. of enzyme for 16 hours at 55°C. Reagents Supplied with Enzyme 10 X SE-buffer W, BSA Methylation sensitivity not tested Inactivation 20 minutes under 65oC Notes To obtain 100% activity, BSA should be added to the 1x reaction mix to a final concentration of 100 μg/ml. Do not use BSA for long incubation.
