1. Is BtsCI activity sensitive to dam, dcm or mammalian CpG methylation?
2. How many base pairs should be added at the end of a PCR primer after the BtsCI recognition site to guarantee that BtsCI will cut properly?
3. Does BtsCI have any neoschizomers?
4. What is the activity of BtsCI at 37°C?
5. Do I have to set-up digests with Time-Saver™ qualified enzymes for 5-15 minutes? Can I digest longer?
6. I tested your restriction enzyme on the substrate DNA recommended by NEB, and it appears to be active, however it does not digest my DNA. What could be the reason?
7. Why is my Restriction Enzyme not cutting DNA?
8. Why do I see a DNA smear on an agarose gel after a restriction digest?
9. Why do I see additional DNA bands on my gel after a restriction digest?
10. How many nucleotides do I have to add adjacent to the RE recognition site in order to get efficient cutting?
11. Can you tell me more about the switch from BSA to Recombinant Albumin (rAlbumin) in NEBuffers?
