A1: 1. BspEI requires fresh DDT in the reaction buffer.
2. BspEI has trouble cleaving PCR products, but it is improved by addition of 1X assay buffer or 100mM NaCl.
3. BspEI is blocked by dam methylation.
4. BspEI is slowed by CpG methylation.
Q2: Does BspEI produce commonly used compatible ends?
A2: BspEI cleaves to leave a 5´ GGCC which can be ligated to fragments generated by AgeI, BsaWI, BsrFi, AvaI, XmaI, NgoMI digestion.
