Source:
Acinetobacter lwoffi RFL26

Concentration:
10u/ul

Unit Definition:
One unit is defined as the amount of Alw26I required to digest 1ug of lambda DNA in 1 hour at 37°C in 50ul of assay buffer.

Incubation Temperature:
37°C

Diluent Buffer:
10mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, 100mM KCl, 1mM EDTA, 1mM DTT, 0.2mg/ml BSA and 50% glycerol.

Storage Buffer:
Supplied as a liquid in 10mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, 100mM KCl, 1mM DTT, 1mM EDTA, 0.2mg/ml BSA and 50% glycerol.


Restriction Enzyme Buffer A, 10X:
R1625: Supplied as a liquid in 33mM Tris-acetate, pH 7.9, 10mM magnesium acetate, 66mM potassium acetate and 0.1mg/ml BSA. Incubate at 37°C. Supplied to simplify buffer selection for double digests.

Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. For long-term storage, aliquot and store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for at least 6 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
 Quality Control:
Overdigestion Assay:
No detectable change in the specific fragmentation pattern is observed after 160-fold overdigestion (10u/ug lambda DNA x 16 hours) with Alw26I.

Ligation/Recutting Assay:
After 50-fold overdigestion (3u/ug DNA x 17 hours) with Alw26I more than 95% of the DNA fragments can be ligated at a 5'-termini concentration of 0.1uM. More than 95% of these can be recut.

Labeled Oligonucleotide (LO) Assay:
No detectable degradation of a single-stranded and double-stranded labeled oligonucleotide was observed after incubation with 10units of Alw26I for 4 hours.

Methylation Effects:
Alw26I does not cut GAGAm5C. Overlapping CpG methylation may influence DNA cleavage.

Stability during Prolonged Incubation:
A minimum of 0.2units of Alw26I is required for complete digestion of 1ug of lambda DNA in 16 hours at 37°C.

Thermal Inactivation:
Alw26I is inactivated by incubation at 65°C for 20min.
