I-SceI

I-SceI has been reformulated with Recombinant Albumin (rAlbumin) beginning with Lot #10156746. Learn more.

We are excited to announce that all reaction buffers are now BSA-free. NEB began switching our BSA-containing reaction buffers in April 2021 to buffers containing Recombinant Albumin (rAlbumin) for restriction enzymes and some DNA modifying enzymes. Find more details at www.neb.com/BSA-free.

Product Notes
1. Homing endonucleases do not have stringently-defined recognition sequences in the way that restriction enzymes do. That is, single base changes do not abolish cleavage but reduce its efficiency to variable extents. The precise boundary of required bases is generally not known. The recognition sequence listed is one site that is known to be recognized and cleaved.
2. Supplied with plasmid DNA. NotI-linearized pGPS2 is supplied at 0.5 mg/ml in 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 1 mM EDTA. Cleavage of this 2499 bp plasmid with I-SceI gives fragments of 1518 and 981 base pairs.
3. The enzyme retains full activity after at least 10 free-thaw cycles; the enzyme can be aliquoted and stored at –80C.
