Product Class: Restriction Endonuclease

SacII
neb31 cloned at NEB recombinant time saver 2site dil_A 37 65 Heat CpG

SacII has been reformulated with Recombinant Albumin (rAlbumin) beginning with Lot #10180741. Learn more.

We are excited to announce that all reaction buffers are now BSA-free. NEB began switching our BSA-containing reaction buffers in April 2021 to buffers containing Recombinant Albumin (rAlbumin) for restriction enzymes and some DNA modifying enzymes. Find more details at www.neb.com/BSA-free.

Product Notes

  1. Certain SacII sites (e.g. one in the right arm of λ DNA) are resistant to cleavage. The reason particular SacII sites in λ DNA and ΦX174 DNA are cleaved at significantly lower rates than those found with other substrates is unclear at present.
  2. SacII needs to interact with two copies of its recognition sequence to cleave. As a result, substrates with single SacII sites are cleaved at a reduced rate.

    For more information and recommendations on working with enzymes requiring multi-sites, please visit Restriction Enzyme Cleavage:‘single-site’ enzymes and ‘multi-site’ enzymes
  3. Requires two or more sites for cleavage. Please review the enzyme list and recommendations in the following table as well as the background information article.
  4. Blocked by CpG methylation.

FAQs & Troubleshooting

FAQs

  1. Is SacII affected by methylation?
  2. Is SacII inhibited by salt?
  3. Are slow sites found in common vectors?
  4. Do I have to set-up digests with Time-Saver™ qualified enzymes for 5-15 minutes? Can I digest longer?
  5. I tested your restriction enzyme on the substrate DNA recommended by NEB, and it appears to be active, however it does not digest my DNA. What could be the reason?
  6. Which NEB restriction enzymes are supplied with Gel Loading Dye, Purple (6X)?
  7. Can you tell me more about the switch from BSA to Recombinant Albumin (rAlbumin) in NEBuffers?
