Other Notes
Supplied with 10x Restriction Endonuclease Buffer SH (B3657).
Comment: Avoid suboptimal reaction conditions such as low salt, high pH (>8.0) and high glycerol (>5%) as they will alter EcoRI specificity and precipitate star activity.
Specificity
Recognition sequence: 5′-G/AATTC-3′
Ligation and recutting results: After 2-10-fold EcoR I overdigestion of 1 μg λ DNA substrate, results in 100% cutting, 95% of fragments can be ligated, and >95% recut.
Heat inactivation: 65 °C for 20 minutes.
Physical form
Solution in 10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.2 , 1 mM EDTA, 200 mM NaCl , 0.5 mM dithioerythritol, 50% glycerol (v/v), 0.2% Triton X- 100 (v/v), 4°C
