Concentration:
10,000 units/ml

Unit Assay Substrate:
λ DNA

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

Notes


General notes:
  1. Blocked by overlapping dcm methylation.
  2. Conditions of low ionic strength, high enzyme concentration, glycerol concentration > 5% or pH > 8.0 may result in star activity.
  3. The high enzyme concentration described in the 16-hour incubation assay may result in star activity.

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 20-fold overdigestion with AlwNI, > 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 AlwNI.


16-Hour Incubation:
A 50 μl reaction containing 1 μg of DNA and 100 units of AlwNI 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 1,000 units of AlwNI 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.
