dam methylation: Not sensitive
dcm methylation: Blocked by overlapping
CpG methylation: Not sensitive

Heat Inactivation:
65°C for 20 minutes

Survival in a Reaction:
Minimum units to digest 1 µg of substrate DNA in 16 hours: 0.50 unit(s)


Reaction & Storage Conditions


Reaction Conditions:

Concentration:
8,000 units/ml

Unit Assay Substrate:
λ DNA

Storage Conditions:
10 mM Tris-HCl
50 mM KCl
1 mM Dithiothreitol
0.1 mM EDTA

Notes


General notes:
  1. Conditions of low ionic strength, high enzyme concentration, glycerol concentration > 5%, or pH > 8.0 may result in star activity.
  2. Particular PflMI sites in λ DNA are cleaved at significantly lower rates than those found in other substrates.

FAQs


  1. Do degenerate recognition sites need to be palindromic?

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 10-fold overdigestion with PflMI, approximately 75% 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, approximately 75% can be recut with PflMI.


16-Hour Incubation:
A 50 μl reaction containing 1 μg of DNA and 40 units of PflMI 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 PflMI 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 PflMI with 1 μg of pNEB193 DNA for 4 hours at 37ºC resulted in < 10% conversion to RFII as determined by agarose gel electrophoresis.
