Description:
NotI has a High Fidelity version NotI-HF™ (NEB #R3189).

High Fidelity (HF) Restriction Enzymes have been engineered for reduced star activity and have 100% activity in buffer 4 which may simplify your double digest.

Source:
A E. coli strain that carries the NotI gene from Nocardia otitidis-caviarum (ATCC 14630).

Reagents Supplied:
NEBuffer 3 (10X)
BSA


Enzyme Properties


Activity in NEBuffers:
NEBuffer 1:0%
NEBuffer 2:50%
NEBuffer 3:100%
NEBuffer 4:25%

When using a buffer other than the optimal (supplied) NEBuffer, it may be necessary to add more enzyme to achieve complete digestion.

Methylation Sensitivity:
dam methylation: Not sensitive
dcm methylation: Not sensitive
CpG methylation: Blocked
More information about: Methylation Sensitivity

Heat Inactivation:
65°C for 20 minutes

Survival in a Reaction:
(+ +) Intermediate activity. Suitable for extended digestion, but < 8 hours.

Notes


General notes:
  1. Supercoiled plasmids may require up to 5-fold more NotI for complete digestion than linear DNAs.

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 NotI, > 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 NotI.


16-Hour Incubation:
A 50 μl reaction containing 1 μg of DNA and 200 units of NotI incubated for 16 hours at 37ºC 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 200 units of NotI with 1 μg of a mixture of single and double-stranded [3H] E. coli DNA (105 cpm/μg) for 4 hours at 37ºC released < 0.1% of the total radioactivity.

Endonuclease Activity:
Incubation of a 50 μl reaction containing 200 units of NotI with 1 μg of ΦX174 RF I DNA for 4 hours at 37ºC resulted in < 5% conversion to RFII as determined by agarose gel electrophoresis.
