Enzyme Properties:Methylation Effects:Dam, Never overlaps - no effectDcm: Never overlaps - no effectCpG: Completely overlaps - cleavage impairedEcoKI: Never overlaps - no effectEcoBI: Never overlaps - no effect
Stability during Prolonged Incubation:A minimum of 0.2units of Eco88I is required for complete digestion of 1ug of lambda DNA in 16 hours at 37°C.
Digestion of Agarose-embedded DNA:A minimum of 5 units of Eco88I is required for complete digestion of 1ug of agarose-embedded lambda DNA in 16 hours.
Number of Recognition Sites in DNA:Lambda: 8PhiX174: 1pBR322: 1pUC57: 1pUC18/19: 1pTZ19R/U: 1M13mp18/19: 2
Overdigestion Assay:No detectable change in the specific fragmentation pattern is observed after 160-fold overdigestion with Eco88I (10U/ug lambda DNA x 16 hours).
Ligation/Recutting Assay:The ligation and recleavage assay was replaced with L0 test after validating experiments showed L0 test ability to trace nuclease and phosphatase activities with sensitivity that is higher than L/R by a factor of 100.
Labeled Oligonucleotide (LO) Assay:No detectable degradation of a single-stranded and double-stranded labeled oligonucleotide was observed after incubation with 10 units of Eco88I for 4 hours.
Blue/White Cloning Assay:The B/W assay was replaced with L0 test after validating experiments showed L0 test ability to detect nuclease and phosphatase activities with sensitivity that equals to that of B/W test.
Storage and Stability:May be stored at 4°C. For long-term storage, aliquot and store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for 6 months after receipt. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
