1. BfuAI cleaves plasmid DNAs more efficiently than BspMI.
2. BfuAI is an isoschizomer of BspMI.
3. Requires two or more sites for cleavage. Please review the enzyme list and recommendations in the following table as well as the background information article.
4. Impaired by overlapping CpG methylation.
5. star activity may result from a glycerol concentration of >5%.
