Other Notes
Supplied with 10x Restriction Endonuclease Buffer SM (B3158).
Comment: This enzyme exhibits star activity when used under conditions of low ionic strength, high enzyme concentration, glycerol concentration >5%, or pH >8.0.
Pvu II does not cut CAGm4CTG or CAGm5CTG.
Specificity
Recognition sequence: 5′-CAG/CTG-3′<
Ligation and recutting results: After 2-10-fold Pvu II overdigestion of 1 μg λ DNA substrate, results in 100% cutting, >80% of fragments can be ligated, and >90% recut.
Heat inactivation: Activity not completely destroyed at 65 °C for 15 minutes.
Physical form
Solution in 20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.7, 1 mM EDTA, 100 mM NaCl, 10 mM 2-mercaptoethanol, 50% glycerol (v/v), 0.01% Triton X-100 (v/v) at 4 °C
