Description
Recognition site and hydrolysis position:
GAGTC(N)4 | GAGTC(N)4↑ |
CTCAG(N)5 | CTCAG(N)5↓ |
Source: Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes
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 Y
Enzyme activity (%):
B | G | O | W | Y | ROSE |
50 | 10 | 0 | 25 | 100 | 50 |
Storage conditions: 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5); 50 mM KCl; 0.1 mM EDTA; 7 mM 2-mercaptoethanol; 200 μg/ml BSA and 50% glycerol; Store at -20°C.
Ligations:
After 2-fold overdigestion with enzyme 20% 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 1 u.a. of enzyme for 16 hours at 37°C.
Reagents Supplied with Enzyme:
Methylation sensitivity: not tested
Notes: To obtain 100% activity, BSA should be added to the 1 x reaction mix to a final concentration of 100 μg/ml.
Do not use BSA for long incubation.
