When using a buffer other than the optimal (supplied) NEBuffer, it may be necessary to add more enzyme to achieve complete digestion.

Methylation Sensitivity:
dam methylation: Not sensitive
dcm methylation: Not sensitive
CpG methylation: Blocked

Heat Inactivation:
80°C for 20 minutes

Survival in a Reaction:
Minimum units to digest 1 µg of substrate DNA in 16 hours: 0.13 unit(s)


Reaction & Storage Conditions


Reaction Conditions:
1X NEBuffer 3
Supplemented with 100 μg/ml Bovine Serum Albumin
Incubate at 37°C.

1X NEBuffer 3:
50 mM Tris-HCl
100 mM NaCl
10 mM MgCl2
1 mM Dithiothreitol
pH 7.9 @ 25°C

Unit Definition:
One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme required to digest 1 µg of λ DNA (HindIII digest) in 1 hour at 37°C in a total reaction volume of 50 µl.

Concentration:
10,000 units/ml

Unit Assay Substrate:
λ DNA (HindIII digest)

Storage Conditions:
10 mM Tris-HCl
300 mM NaCl

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 50 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 (205 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.
