Name | Bmt I | Catalog number | E457 | E458 | Package, u.a. | 1000 | 5000 | Concentration, u.a./ml | 20000 | 20000 |
Recognition site | GCTAG^C C^GATCG | Methylation sensitivity | not tested | Origin | E.coli strain that carries the cloned Bmt I gene from Bacillus megaterium S2 | Storage conditions | 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5); 250 mM NaCl; 0.1 mM EDTA; 7 mM 2-mercaptoethanol; 200 ug/ml BSA; 50% glycerol; Store at -20°C. | Assayed on | Lambda DNA (Hind III-digest) | Ligation | After 20-fold overdigestion with enzyme about 95% of the DNA fragments can be ligated and recut. | Non-specific activity | No nonspecific activity was detected after incubation of 1 ug of Lambda DNA with 20 u.a. of enzyme for 16 hours at 37°C. | Optimum temperature | 37 oC | Inactivation 20 minutes | 65oC | Optimum SE-buffer | W (10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.5 at 25°C); 10 mM MgCl2; 100 mM NaCl; 1 mM DTT.) |
Enzyme % activity:
B | G | O | W | Y | 10 - 25 | 50 - 75 | 50 - 75 | 100 | 75 - 100 |
Note: The minimum number of units that resulted in complete digestion of 1 ug of substrate DNA in 16 hours is 0,13.
BmtI cleaves linear plasmid DNA at a rate 5 times higher than supercoiled plasmid DNA. References: Dedkov, V.S., Nayakshina, T.N., Popichenko, D.V., Degtyarev, S.K.
