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.

Properties & Usage

Unit Definition

Unit Definition: One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme required to protect 1 µg λ DNA in 1 hour at 37°C in a total reaction volume of 30 µl against cleavage by HhaI restriction endonuclease.

Reaction Conditions

1X rCutSmart™ Buffer
Supplement with 640 µM S-adenosylmethionine (SAM)
Incubate at 37°C

1X rCutSmart™ Buffer
50 mM Potassium Acetate
20 mM Tris-acetate
10 mM Magnesium Acetate
100 µg/ml Recombinant Albumin
(pH 7.9 @ 25°C)

Control Protection Assay

One unit of HhaI Methyltransferase is incubated with 1 µg of λ DNA in 30 µl 1X rCutSmart Buffer, supplemented with 640 µM S-adenosylmethionine, for one hour at 37°C followed by 15 minutes inactivation at 65°C. The extent of protection by HhaI Methyltransferase is determined by the addition of 10 units of HhaI restriction endonuclease in 20 µl 1X rCutSmart Buffer followed by incubation at 37°C for 30 minutes. Results are analyzed on agarose gel.

Storage Buffer

50 mM Tris-HCl
150 mM NaCl
5 mM TCEP
0.1 mM EDTA
200 µg/ml BSA
pH 7.5 @ 25°C

Heat Inactivation

65°C for 15 minutes

Molecular Weight

Theoretical: 36994 daltons

Product Notes

  1. Storage of SAM: S-adenosylmethionine is stored at –20°C as 32 mM solution dissolved in sulfuric acid (0.005 M) and 10% ethanol. SAM in this solution stored under ideal conditions remains active for up to 6 months. SAM is unstable at (pH 7.5), 37°C, and should be replenished for reactions incubated longer than 4 hours. Many problems in achieving complete digestion can be alleviated by using fresh SAM.
