Notes


General notes:
  1. AfeI is an isoschizomer of Eco47III.

FAQs


  1. Why does AfeI's catalog number start with V instead of R?
  2. What buffers can be used for double digests?
  3. Does AfeI replave one previously sold?
  4. Are more units of AfeI required to cut supercoiled DNA than lambda DNA?

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 AfeI, approximately 75% 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, approximately 75% can be recut with AfeI.


16-Hour Incubation:
A 50 μl reaction containing 1 μg of λDNA and 20 units of AfeI incubated for 16 hours at 37ºC resulted in a DNA pattern free of detectable nuclease degradation as determined by agarose gel electrophoresis.
