dcm methylation: Not sensitive
CpG methylation: Impaired by overlapping

Heat Inactivation:
65°C for 20 minutes

Survival in a Reaction:
Minimum units to digest 1 µg of substrate DNA in 16 hours: 0.25 unit(s)

Notes


General notes:
  1. Conditions of low ionic strength, high enzyme concentration, glycerol concentration > 5%, or pH > 8.0 may result in star activity.

FAQs


  1. What is Star Activity and how can it be avoided?
  2. 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 DraIII, > 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 DraIII.


16-Hour Incubation:
A 50 μl reaction containing 1 μg of DNA and 100 units of DraIII 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 DraIII 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 DraIII with 1 μg of pUC19 DNA for 4 hours at 37ºC resulted in < 0% conversion to RFII as determined by agarose gel electrophoresis.
