Notes


General notes:
  1. Conditions of low ionic strength, high enzyme concentration, glycerol concentration > 5%, or pH > 8.0 may result in star activity.
  2. TspMI is an isoschizomer of XmaI.
    Temperature activity curve of activity:
    37°C gives 20% optimal activity
    65°C gives 100% optimal activity
    75°C gives 100% optimal activity
    80°C gives 200% optimal activity

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 TspMI, > 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 TspMI.


16-Hour Incubation:
A 50 μl reaction containing 1 μg of DNA and 75 units of TspMI incubated for 16 hours at 75ºC 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 TspMI with 1 μg of a mixture of single and double-stranded [3H] E. coli DNA (205 cpm/μg) for 4 hours at 75ºC released < 0.14% of the total radioactivity.

Endonuclease Activity:
Incubation of a 50 μl reaction containing 5 units of TspMI with 1 μg of ΦX174 RF I DNA for 4 hours at 75ºC resulted in < 10% conversion to RFII as determined by agarose gel electrophoresis.
