Notes


General notes:
  1. DNA purified by standard miniprep procedures is cleaved at lower rates.

FAQs


  1. Is NdeI a Time-Saver Qualified enzyme?
  2. Is NdeI activity sensitive to any type of substrate methylation?
  3. How many base pairs should be added at the end of a PCR primer after the NdeI recognition site to guarantee that NdeI will cut properly?
  4. Does NdeI have any isoschizomers?
  5. It seems that NdeI is having some difficulties cutting my DNA. Is there a reason for that?
  6. NdeI seems to be digesting my DNA correctly, but when I try to ligate it, I obtain no colonies. Is there a potential explanation for what I am observing?

Quality Control for Current Lot


Quality control values for a specific lot can be found on the datacard which accompanies each product.

Ligation and Re-cutting:
After a 20-fold overdigestion with NdeI, > 95% of the DNA fragments can be ligated with T4 DNA Ligase (at a 5' termini concentration of 1-2 μM) at 16ºC. Of these ligated fragments, > 95% can be recut with NdeI.


16-Hour Incubation:
A 50 μl reaction containing 1 μg of DNA and 75 units of NdeI incubated for 16 hours at 37ºC resulted in a DNA pattern free of detectable nuclease degradation as determined by agarose gel electrophoresis.

Exonuclease Activity:
Incubation of a 50 μl reaction containing 4,000 units of NdeI with 1 μg of a mixture of single and double-stranded [3H] E. coli DNA (105 cpm/μg) for 4 hours at 37ºC released < 0.1% of the total radioactivity.

Endonuclease Activity:
Incubation of a 50 μl reaction containing 30 units of NdeI with 1 μg of ΦX174 RF I DNA for 4 hours at 37ºC resulted in < 15% conversion to RFII as determined by agarose gel electrophoresis.
