PvuII

Beschreibung

Unit definition: One unit is defined as amount of enzyme required to produce a complete digest of 1 µg Lambda DNA in 60 min in a total reaction volume of
Unit substrate: Lambda DNA.
Unit calculation assay conditions: 1 µg Lambda DNA has been digested in 50mM NaCl, 1mM DTT, 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.9 at 25 °C), 10 mM MgCl2, 100 µg/mL BSA
Absence of contaminants: 10 units of PvuII do not produce any unspecific cleavage products after 16 hrs incubation with 1µg of Lambda DNA at 37 °C. After 10-fold overdigestion with PvuII, greater than 95% of the DNA fragments can be ligated and recut with this enzyme.
Storage buffer: PvuII is supplied in 50 mM KCl, 10 mM Tris HCl (pH 7.4), 0.1 mM EDTA, 1 mM dithiothreitol, 200 μg/ml BSA and 50% glycerol.
Inactivation: PvuII cannot be heat inactivated in 20min at 80 °C. The enzyme can be removed by spin column purification. It is also possible to stop the digest by addition of EDTA to a final concentration of >10mM or SDS to a concentration of 0.1 %. Alternatively use our environmentally friendly 6x orange gel loading buffer. For further enzymatic reactions remove SDS or EDTA by spin column-based PCR purification kit.
Star activity: Conditions of low ionic strength, high enzyme concentration, glycerol concentration >5% or pH >8.0 may result in star activity.
Methylation Sensitivity:
dam methylation: Not sensitive
dcm methylation: Not sensitive
CpG Methylation: Not sensitive

Activity in Simplebiotech buffers:  

The Enzyme is supplied with 10x Buffer M and the 10x universal Simple Buffer for double digests. The enzyme is also fully active in the respective buffers from other suppliers and may be used in double digests together with enzymes from other suppliers.

10x Buffer M: 500mM NaCl, 100mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.9 at 25 °C), 100mM MgCl2, 1mg/mL BSA
10x Simple buffer: 500 mM Potassium Acetate, 200 mM Tris-acetate (pH 7.9 at 25°C), 100 mM Magnesium Acetate, 1000 μg/ml BSA
