1X SEBuffer Abs I  (pH 9.0 @ 25ºC)

10 mM Tris-HCl, 50 mM KCl, 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM DTT

Unit Definition: One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme required to digest 1 µg of pUC19SE/DriI in 1 hour at 37°C in a total reaction volume of 50 µl.

Quality Control Assays 

Ligation: After 2-fold overdigestion with Abs I, ~90% of  DNA fragments can be ligated with T4 DNA Ligase and recut.

16-Hour Incubation: A 50 µl reaction containing 1 µg of pUC19SE/DriI and 2 units of enzyme incubated for 16 hours resulted in the same pattern of DNA bands as a reaction incubated for 1 hour. A long incubation time may result in star activity.

Oligonucleotide Assay: No detectable degradation of a single- and double-stranded oligonucleotide was observed after incubation with 1 units of enzyme for 3 hours.
