BsmFI FAQ

See the Restriction Endonucleases FAQ also.

Q1: Are there single cleavage sites in any common vectors for BsmFI?
Q2: Is there variability in the cleavage site for BsmFI?
Q3: Is activity loss seen in 12 months or less?
Q4: What is the activity of BsmFI at 37°C?

Q1: Are there single cleavage sites in any common vectors for BsmFI?

A1: Yes. The polylinkers found in pACYC177 cloning vectors contain a single BsmFI site.


Q2: Is there variability in the cleavage site for BsmFI?

A2: Yes. BsmFI recognizes GGGAC and cleaves 10/14 bases downstream, but sometimes cleaves 9/13.


Q3: Is activity loss seen in 12 months or less?

A3: Yes, in 12 months.


Q4: What is the activity of BsmFI at 37°C?

A4: BsmFI is anisoschizomer of FinI. Incubation at 37°C results in 50% activity.
