Product Notes

  1. BstYI is an isoschizomer of XhoII.
  2. For enzymes that cannot be heat-inactivated, we recommend using a column for cleanup (such as the Monarch® PCR & DNA Cleanup Kit), or running the reaction on an agarose gel and then extracting the DNA (we recommend Monarch Gel Extraction Kit), or performing a phenol/chloroform extraction.
  3. Not sensitive to CpG, dcm, or dam methylation.

FAQs & Troubleshooting

FAQs

  1. Do degenerate recognition sites need to be palindromic?
  2. Do I have to set-up digests with Time-Saver™ qualified enzymes for 5-15 minutes? Can I digest longer?
  3. Is this enzyme sensitive to dam, dcm or mammalian CpG methylation?
  4. Can you tell me more about the switch from BSA to Recombinant Albumin (rAlbumin) in NEBuffers?
