Notes


General notes:
  1. Cleaves to leave a 5´ GATC extension which can be efficiently ligated to DNA fragments generated by BamHI, BglII, MboI, Sau3AI, and BstYI.

  1. How can this enzyme be inactivated?

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 BclI, > 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 BclI.


16-Hour Incubation:
A 50 μl reaction containing 1 μg of DNA and 300 units of BclI incubated for 16 hours at 50ºC 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 400 units of BclI with 1 μg of a mixture of single and double-stranded [3H] E. coli DNA (105 cpm/μg) for 4 hours at 50ºC released < 0.1% of the total radioactivity.

Endonuclease Activity:
Incubation of a 50 μl reaction containing 80 units of BclI with 1 μg of ΦX174 RF I DNA for 4 hours at 50ºC resulted in < 50% conversion to RFII as determined by agarose gel electrophoresis.
