A1: This enzyme is made by SibEnzyme. As a service to our customers, we occasionaly supply enzymes with unique specifications that are exclusively produced by another supplier.
Q2: What buffers can be used for double digests?
A2: NEBuffer 4 is very similar in composition to the supplied SEBuffer Y and gives 100% activity. NEBuffer 2 can also be used if the amount of AfeI is doubled. We do not know the activity the activity of NEB enzymes in the SEBuffer system.
Q3: Does AfeI replave one previously sold?
A3: Yes, this enzyme replaces Eco47III (ER0321). AfeI recognizes the same sequence AGCˆGCT, and cleaves at the same position as Eco47III.
Q4: Are more units of AfeI required to cut supercoiled DNA than lambda DNA?
A4: Yes, 10 units are required to cleave 1 μg pBR322.
