| Unit definition | One unit of the enzyme is the amount required to hydrolyze 1 μg of Lambda DNA in 1 hour at 65°C in a total reaction volume of 50 μl. | ||||||||||||
| Assayed on | Lambda DNA | ||||||||||||
| Storage conditions | 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5); 50 mM KCl; 0.1 mM EDTA; 7 mM 2-mercaptoethanol; 200 μg/ml BSA; 50% glycerol. Storage at -20°C. Storage at -70°C is recommended for periods longer than 30 days.. | ||||||||||||
| Ligation | After 2-fold overdigestion with enzyme 80% of DNA fragments can be ligated. Of these 80% can be recut. | ||||||||||||
| Nonspecific hydrolysis | No nonspecific activity was detected after incubation of 1 μg of Lambda DNA with 5 u.a. of enzyme for 16 hours at 65°C. | ||||||||||||
| Methylation sensitivity | not tested | ||||||||||||
| Reagents supplied with enzyme | 10 X SE-buffer Y, 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. | ||||||||||||
