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)


Reaction & Storage Conditions


Reaction Conditions:
1X NEBuffer 2
Incubate at 55°C.

1X NEBuffer 2:
10 mM Tris-HCl

Concentration:
1,000 units/ml

Unit Assay Substrate:
pUC19 DNA

Storage Conditions:
10 mM Tris-HCl
50 mM NaCl
1 mM DTT
0.1 mM EDTA

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 FatI, > 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 FatI.


16-Hour Incubation:
A 50 μl reaction containing 1 μg of DNA and 10 units of FatI incubated for 16 hours at 55ºC 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 10 units of FatI with 1 μg of a mixture of single and double-stranded [3H] E. coli DNA (205 cpm/μg) for 4 hours at 55ºC released < 0.1% of the total radioactivity.
