Unit definition One unit of the enzyme is the amount required to hydrolyze 1 μg of Lambda DNA(dam-, dcm-) in 1 hour at 37°C in a total reaction volume of 50 μl.
Assayed on Lambda DNA
Storage conditions 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5); 200 mM NaCl; 0.1 mM EDTA; 7 mM 2-mercaptoethanol; 100 μg/ml BSA; 50% glycerol; Store at -20°C.
Ligation After 3-fold overdigestion with AcoI more than 90% of Lambda DNA fragments can be ligated with T4 DNA Ligase at 16°C and recut.
Nonspecific hydrolysis No nonspecific activity was detected after incubation of 1 μg of Lambda DNA with 2 u.a. of AcoI for 16 hours at 37°C.
Methylation sensitivity Blocked by overlapping dcm methylation (C m CWGG) CC TGG CCR.
Reagents supplied with enzyme 10 X SE-buffer Y
