FAQs


  1. Is PvuI a Time-Saver Qualified enzyme?
  2. Is PvuI 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 PvuI recognition site to guarantee that PvuI will cut properly?
  4. Does PvuI have any neoschizomers?

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 50-fold overdigestion with PvuI, > 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 PvuI.


16-Hour Incubation:
A 50 μl reaction containing 1 μg of DNA and 100 units of PvuI 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 100 units of PvuI 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 100 units of PvuI with 1 μg of ΦX174 RF I DNA for 4 hours at 37ºC resulted in < 10% conversion to RFII as determined by agarose gel electrophoresis.
