20%

Heat Inactivation:
65°C for 20 minutes

Survival in a Reaction:
Minimum units to digest 1 µg of substrate DNA in 16 hours: 0.50 unit(s)

Notes


General notes:
  1. BaeI cleaves DNA substrates twice to excise its recognition site generating a 28 base-pair fragment with 5 base 3´ overhangs.
  2. In one sequence context, BaeI was found to cut at its defined cleavage site as well as one base pair further from its recognition site.
  3. Requires S-adenosylmethionine for optimal activity (supplied with enzyme).

FAQs


  1. Does BaeI have any special requirements?
  2. Does BaeI cleave DNA twice?

Quality Control for Current Lot


Quality control values for a specific lot can be found on the datacard which accompanies each product.

16-Hour Incubation:
A 50 μl reaction containing 1 μg of DNA and 8 units of BaeI incubated for 16 hours at 25ºC 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 8 units of BaeI with 1 μg of a mixture of single and double-stranded [3H] E. coli DNA (205 cpm/μg) for 4 hours at 25ºC released < 0.01% of the total radioactivity.
