Enzyme Properties
Activity in NEBuffers:
| NEBuffer 1: | | 100% | | NEBuffer 2: | | 75% | | 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 | | CpG methylation: Not sensitive | |
More information about: Methylation Sensitivity |
Heat Inactivation:
65°C for 20 minutes
Survival in a Reaction:
(+ +) Intermediate activity. Suitable for extended digestion, but < 8 hours.

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 SexAI, approximately 75%
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 75% can be recut with SexAI.
16-Hour Incubation:
A 50 μl reaction containing 1 μg of DNA
and 16 units of SexAI 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 16 units of SexAI 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.
