Description:
Nt.BspQI is a nicking endonuclease that cleaves only one strand of DNA on a double-stranded DNA substrate.

Source:
An E. coli strain expressing an engineered BspQI variant from BspQI restriction enzyme

Reagents Supplied:
NEBuffer 3 (10X)


Enzyme Properties


Activity in NEBuffers:
NEBuffer 1:10%

Notes


General notes:
  1. Incubation at 37°C results in 80% activity.

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 100 units of Nt.BspQI incubated for 16 hours at 50ºC 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 100 units of Nt.BspQI with 1 μg of a mixture of single and double-stranded [3H] E. coli DNA (205 cpm/μg) for 4 hours at 50ºC released < 0.1% of the total radioactivity.
