Buffer 3: 100%
Buffer 4: 100%
Buffer 5: 0%

Storage Buffer 

10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.4 at 4°C)
400 mM NaCl
0.1 mM EDTA
1 mM dithiothreitol

Assay Conditions

See Certificate of Analysis Below.

Notes

1. Dpn I cleaves only methylated GATC sites.
2. It may be necessary to add more enzyme to obtain complete digestion when using other buffer than optimal (Acet).
3. It is recommended to add 10 units of the enzyme to obtain complete digestion of the methylated template after standard site-directed mutagenesis (total reaction volume is 50 μl).

Storage Conditions

Store at -20°C
Shipped on dry ice
