FeaturesDNA Restriction Enzyme: EcoRI- Source: Escherichia coli RY13
- Concentration: 8-20 units/ul (High concentration: 30-60 units/µl)
- Supplied buffer: H
- Reaction temperature: 37°C
- Substrate for unit definition: lambda DNA
- Effect of DNA methylation: Enzyme activity is affected by CG methylase depending on the sequence following the recognition site.
- Star activity: Unrelated site may often be cut in the presence of high concentration of glycerol or Mn2+, and at low ionic strength. Enzyme activity reduces to 70 to 80% by the addition of spermine (ca. 0.2mM), but star activity reduces to 30 to 50%.
TaKaRa follows a stringent QC process when manufacturing their restriction enzymes. Each lot of every enzyme undergoes four quality tests including: overdigestion, Genome DNA analysis, Ligation-Recutting and pKF3 Cloning
