isoschizomers | compatible ends | single letter code
Source:
Arthrobacter citreus (C. Polisson)
Reagents Supplied:
NEBuffer 3
Enzyme Properties
Activity in NEBuffers:
| NEBuffer 1: | | 25% | | NEBuffer 2: | | 50% | | NEBuffer 3: | | 100% | | NEBuffer 4: | | 50% |
When using a buffer other than the optimal (supplied) NEBuffer, it may be necessary to add more enzyme to achieve complete digestion.

Notes
General notes:- AciI has a non-palindromic recognition site. As a result, when DNA is cut with AciI and then ligated, only 50% of these ligated sites regenerate an AciI site.
FAQs
- Why can only 50% of AciI cut and ligated fragments be recleaved by AciI?
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 AciI, > 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, approximately 50% can be recut with AciI.
The remaining ligation products form HpaII/MspI sites.
16-Hour Incubation:
A 50 μl reaction containing 1 μg of DNA
and 40 units of AciI 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 50 units of AciI 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.
