FAQs


  1. Why isn't SapI cutting?
  2. What sequence does SapI recognize?
  3. Are all sites compatible for ligation?
  4. Is extended digestion of SapI recommended?

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 SapI, > 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 SapI.


16-Hour Incubation:
A 50 μl reaction containing 1 μg of DNA and 20 units of SapI 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 40 units of SapI 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 15 units of SapI with 1 μg of LITMUS 38 plasmid DNA for 4 hours at 37ºC resulted in < 20% conversion to RFII as determined by agarose gel electrophoresis.
