  1. Do degenerate recognition sites need to be palindromic?
  2. 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 20-fold overdigestion with PpuMI, > 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 PpuMI.


16-Hour Incubation:
A 50 μl reaction containing 1 μg of DNA and 300 units of PpuMI 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 300 units of PpuMI with 1 μg of a mixture of single and double-stranded [3H] E. coli DNA (205 cpm/μg) for 4 hours at 37ºC released < 0.05% of the total radioactivity.

Endonuclease Activity:
Incubation of a 50 μl reaction containing 75 units of PpuMI with 1 μg of ΦX174 RF I DNA for 4 hours at 37ºC resulted in < 5% conversion to RFII as determined by agarose gel electrophoresis.
