Description
Recognition site and hydrolysis position:
GGATC(N)4 | GGATC(N)4↑ |
CCTAG(N)5 | CCTAG(N)5↓ |
Source: Acinetobacter calcoaceticus W2131
Unit definition:
One unit of the enzyme is the amount required to hydrolyze 1 μg of Lambda DNA (dam-) in 1 hour at 37°C in a total reaction volume of 50 μl.
Assayed on:
Lambda DNA (dam-)
Optimal SE-buffer: SE-buffer Y
Enzyme activity (%):
B | G | O | W | Y | ROSE |
75 | 50 | 0 | 0 | 100 | 30 |
Storage conditions: 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5); 100 mM KCl; 0.1 mM EDTA; 7 mM 2-mercaptoethanol; 200 μg/ml BSA; 50% glycerol; Store at -20°C.
Ligations:
After 3-fold overdigestion with enzyme about 50% of the DNA fragments can be ligated with T4 DNA ligase and recut. In the presence of 10% PEG ligation is better.
Non-specific hydrolisis:
No nonspecific activity was detected after incubation of 1 μg of Lambda DNA with 6 u.a. of enzyme for 16 hours at 37°C.
Reagents Supplied with Enzyme:
Methylation sensitivity: Blocked by Dam methylation (GmATC) GGATCNotes: 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.
