    Properties and Usage

    Unit Definition

    One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme required to digest 1 µg of λ DNA (Hind III digest) in 1 hour at 37°C in a total reaction volume of 50 µl.

    Notes

    1. BmrI produces DNA fragments that have a single base 3´ extension which are more difficult to ligate than blunt-ended fragments.
    2. BmrI cleaves DNA specifically both in the presence and absence of Mg2+ ions in the reaction mixture.
    3. Overnight digestion with BmrI is not recommended.
    4. Active in the presence of EDTA.
    5. May exhibit star activity in CutSmart Buffer.

    FAQs

    1. Do BmrI generated ends ligate well?
    2. Is extended digestion of BmrI recommended?
    3. My enzyme is no longer Time-Saver™ qualified. What happened?
    4. What effect does BSA have on the performance of NEB’s restriction enzymes when included in the new buffers?
    5. How can I access the old NEBuffer Activity Chart?
    6. How can I access the old Double Digest Finder?

    Quality Control

    Quality Control Assays

    The following Quality Control Tests are performed on each new lot and meet the specifications designated for the product. Individual lot data can be found on the Product Summary Sheet/Datacard or Manual which can be found in the Supporting Documents section of this page.
    • Endonuclease Activity (Nicking):
      The product is tested in a reaction containing a supercoiled DNA substrate. After incubation for 4 hours the percent converted to the nicked form is determined by agarose gel electrophoresis.
    • Exonuclease Activity (Radioactivity Release):
      The product is tested in a reaction containing a radiolabeled mixture of single and double-stranded DNA. After incubation for 4 hours the exonuclease activity is determined by the % release of radioactive nucleotides.
    • Ligation and Recutting (Terminal Integrity):
      After an over-digestion of DNA with a restriction endonuclease the percentage of the DNA fragments ligated with T4 DNA ligase and the percentage that can be recut are determined by agarose gel electrophoresis.
    • Non-Specific DNase Activity (16 hour):
      The product is tested for non-specific nuclease degradation in a reaction containing a DNA substrate. After incubation for 16 hours there is no detectable degradation of the DNA substrate as determined by agarose gel electrophoresis.
