Description:
Tth Endonuclease IV is a thermostable apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) endonuclease from Thermus thermophilus. Tth Endo IV will hydrolyze an AP site at the first phosphodiester bond 5' to the lesion leaving a 3' hydroxyl and a deoxyribose 5'-phosphate at the 5' terminus. The enzyme also has a 3'-diesterase activity.
Source:
An E. coli strain that carries the cloned Thermus thermophilus endonuclease IV gene.
Applications:- Alkaline elution (1)
- Alkaline unwinding (2)

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 λDNA (HindIII digest)
and 100 units of Tth Endonuclease IV incubated for 16 hours at 37ºC
resulted in a DNA pattern free of detectable nuclease degradation as determined by agarose gel electrophoresis.
Endonuclease Activity:
Incubation of a 50 μl reaction containing 100 units of Tth Endonuclease IV with 1 μg of
ΦX174 RF I DNA for 4 hours at 37ºC resulted
in < 10% conversion to RFII as determined by agarose gel electrophoresis.
Exonuclease Activity::
Incubation of a 50 μl reaction containing 100 units of Tth Endonuclease IV in NEBuffer 1 with 1 μg of a mixture of single and double-stranded [3H] E. coli DNA (200,000 cpm/μg) for 4 hours at 37°C released < 0.1% of the total radioactivity.
Physical Purity:
Purified to > 95% homogeneity as determined by SDS-PAGE analysis using Coomassie Blue detection.
