Unit definitionOne 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 onLambda DNA
Storage conditions10 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.
LigationAfter 3-fold overdigestion with enzyme more than 95% of the DNA fragments can be ligated and recut.
Nonspecific hydrolysisNo nonspecific activity was detected after incubation of 1 μg of Lambda DNA with 6 u.a. of enzyme for 16 hours at 37°C.
Methylation sensitivityNot blocked by overlapping Dam methylation (G m ATC) GATC. Blocked by overlapping CG methylation C G AT m C G. Cleaved of DNA is impaired by overlapping CG methylation GAT m C G.
Reagents supplied with enzyme10 X SE-buffer G
