Properties & Usage

Unit Definition

One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme required to protect 1 µg λ DNA in 1 hour at 37°C in a total reaction volume of 10 µl against cleavage by BamHI restriction endonuclease.

Reaction Conditions

1X BamHI Methyltransferase Reaction Buffer
Supplement with 80 µM S-adenosylmethionine (SAM)
Incubate at 37°C

Control Protection Assay

BamHI Methyltransferase is incubated with 1 µg λ DNA in 10 µl 1X BamHI Methyltransferase Buffer, supplemented with 80 µM S-adenosylmethionine, for one hour at 37°C followed by 15 minutes at 65°C. The extent of protection by BamHI Methyltransferase is determined by the addition of 40 µl NEBuffer 1 supplemented with 10 mM MgCl2 and 10 units of BamHI restriction endonuclease. Incubation at 37°C for 30 minutes is followed by analysis on agarose gels.

Storage Buffer

50 mM Tris-HCl
1 mM DTT
10 mM EDTA
200 µg/ml BSA
50% Glycerol
pH 7.5 @ 25°C

Heat Inactivation

No

Product Notes

  1. Storage of SAM: S-adenosylmethionine is stored at –20°C as 32 mM solutiondissolved in sulfuric acid (0.005 M) and 10% ethanol. SAM in this solutionstored under ideal conditions remains active for up to 6 months. SAM is unstableat (pH 7.5), 37°C, and should be replenished for reactions incubated longer than4 hours. Many problems in achieving complete digestion can be alleviated byusing fresh SAM.
