BstE II Technical BrochureTechnical Brochure
 

BstEII is a restriction enzyme purified from Bacillus stearothermophilus.

 

Unit substrate: Lambda DNA.

 

Unit calculation assay conditions: 100 mM KCl, 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.4 @ 25°C), 5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM dithiothreitol, 0.1% Triton X-100, 100 μg/ml BSA. Incubate at 60oC.

 

Absence of contaminants: 150 units of BstEII do not produce any unspecific cleavage products after 16 hrs incubation with 1 μg of λ DNA at 60oC. After 100-fold overdigestion with BstEII, greater than 95% of the DNA fragments can be ligated and recut with this enzyme.

 

Storage buffer: 100 mM KCl, 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.4), 0.1 mM EDTA, 1 mM dithiothreitol, 200 μg/ml BSA and 50% glycerol. Store at -20oC.

 

Heat inactivation: No.

 

Methylation Sensitivity:

dam methylation: Not sensitive

dcm methylation: Not sensitive

CpG methylation: Not sensitive

 

Note: BstE II exhibits 10-15% activity at 37°C.
