Notes


General notes:
  1. Bst4CI is an isoschizomer of HpyCH4III.
  2. HpyCH4III produces DNA fragments that have been single base 3´ extension which are difficult to ligate.
  3. Overdigestions > 4 hours with > 5.0 units per µg DNA are not recommended.

FAQs


  1. Do degenerate recognition sites need to be palindromic?

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 5-fold overdigestion with HpyCH4III, approximately 50% 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 HpyCH4III.


Exonuclease Activity:
Incubation of a 50 μl reaction containing 15 units of HpyCH4III 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.

16-Hour Incubation:
A 50 μl reaction containing 1 μg of DNA and 50units of enzyme incubated for 16 hours at 37ºC resulted in the same pattern of DNA bands as a reaction incubated for 1 hour with 1 unit of enzyme.
