 Recognition Site:


 isoschizomers | compatible ends | single letter code
Source: Acinetobacter Iwoffii N (R. Morgan)
Reagents Supplied: NEBuffer 4
Enzyme Properties

 Activity in NEBuffers:
| NEBuffer 1: |  | 50% | | NEBuffer 2: |  | 100% | | NEBuffer 3: |  | 50% | | NEBuffer 4: |  | 100% |
When using a buffer other than the optimal (supplied) NEBuffer, it may be necessary to add more enzyme to achieve complete digestion.
Methylation Sensitivity:
| dam methylation: Not sensitive | | dcm methylation: Blocked by overlapping | | CpG methylation: Not sensitive | |
More information about: Methylation Sensitivity |
Heat Inactivation: 65°C for 20 minutes
Survival in a Reaction: (+ + +) Suitable for an extended or overnight digestion. Enzyme is active > 8 hours. More information about: Extended Digests with Restriction Enzymes

Notes

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

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.
