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
Storage conditions 10 mM KH 2 PO 4 (pH 7.2); 100 mM NaCl; 0.1 mM EDTA; 7 mM 2-mercaptoethanol; 200 μg/ml BSA; 50% glycerol. Store at -20°C.
Ligation After 5-fold overdigestion with enzyme more than 95% of the Lambda DNA fragments can be ligated with T4 DNA Ligase at 16°C and 50% of these can be recut.
Nonspecific hydrolysis No nonspecific activity was detected after incubation of 1 μg of Lambda DNA with 10 u.a. of enzyme for 16 hours at 37°C.
Methylation sensitivity Blocked by CG methylation.
Reagents supplied with enzyme 10 X SE-buffer O, BSA
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. BspACI has a non-palindromic recognition site.
