| Catalog # | E0375 |
| Supplied With | R1625: Restriction Enzyme Buffer A, 10X |
| R1625-03: Restriction Enzyme Buffer D, 10X |
| Unit Definition | One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme required to digest 1ug of lambda DNA in 1 hour at 37°C in 50ul of assay buffer. |
| Incubation Temperature | 37°C |
| Dilution | For short-term storage (3-4 weeks): |
| Dilute with Diluent Buffer (R1625-05, 10mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4 at 25°C, 100mM potassium chloride, 1mM EDTA, 1mM DTT, 0.2mg/ml BSA, 50% glycerol. |
| For long-term storage | Dilute with Storage Buffer (10mM potassium phosphate, pH 7.4, 25°C, 300mM NaCl, 1mM EDTA, 7mM 2-mercaptoethanol, 0.2mg/ml BSA, 0.15% Triton X-100, 50% glycerol). |
| Quality Control | Overdigestion Assay: No detectable change in the specific fragmentation pattern is observed after 80-fold overdigestion (5u/ug lambda DNA x 16 hours) with EcoRI. |
| Ligation/Recutting Assay | After 50-fold overdigestion (3u/ug DNA x 17 hours) with EcoRI, more than 90% of the DNA fragments can be ligated at a 5'-termini concentration of 0.02uM. More than 90% of these can be recut. |
| Labeled Oligonucleotide Assay | No detectable degradation of a single-stranded and double-stranded labeled oligonucleotide was observed after incubation with 10u of restriction endonuclease for 4 hours. |
| Blue/White Cloning Assay | pUC57 was digested at a unique site with 10u of enzyme for 16 hours. After religation and transformation 0.2% of white colonies were detected. |
| Methylation Effects | EcoRI cuts neither Gm6AATTC nor GAm6ATTC, but cuts GAATTm5C, GAATThm5C and GAAhm5Uhm5UC. |
| Storage and Stability | Store at -20C. Stable for 12-12 months. |
| Source | E.coli that carries the cloned ecoRIR gene from Escherichia coli RY13 |
|
| Concentration | 10u/ul. |
| (See E0375-05 for 50u/ul). |
|
| Enzyme Properties | |
| Star Activity | Star Activity appears at 10-fold overdigestion (10u x 1 hour). A large excess of the enzyme (10u/ug DNA x 16 hours), low salt concentration, high pH, or the replacement of Mg2+ by Mn2+ results in star activity. |
|
| Stability during Prolonged Incubation | A minimum of 0.2u of enzyme are required for complete digestion of 1ug of lambda DNA in 16 hours at 37°C. |
|
| Thermal Inactivation | Enzyme is inactivated by incubation at 65°C for 20min. |
|
| Digestion of Agarose-Embedded DNA | A minimum of 5u of enzyme is required for complete digestion of 1ug of agarose-embedded lambda DNA in 16 hours. |
