DpnII
NEBU recombinant time saver dil_B 37 65 Heat dam Epi

DpnII has been reformulated with Recombinant Albumin (rAlbumin) beginning with Lot #10174818. 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. DpnII and Sau3AI are isoschizomers of MboI.
  2. Cleaves to leave a 5´ GATC extension which can be efficiently ligated to DNA fragments generated by BamHI, BclI, BglII, MboI, Sau3AI and BstYI.
  3. This enzyme is blocked by dam methylation. More information can be found at Dam-Dcm and CpG Methylation.
  4. Will exhibit star activity in NEBuffer r3.1. We recommend the use of NEB DpnII Unique Buffer.

FAQs & Troubleshooting

FAQs

  1. Do I have to set-up digests with Time-Saver™ qualified enzymes for 5-15 minutes? Can I digest longer?
  2. Is this enzyme sensitive to dam, dcm or mammalian CpG methylation?
  3. Which NEB restriction enzymes are supplied with Gel Loading Dye, Purple (6X)?
  4. Can Gel Loading Dye, Purple 6X (B7024) be stored in cold temperatures?

Troubleshooting

Tech Tips

This enzyme will not cut plasmids isolated from most E.coli because it is blocked by dam methylation. For enzyme cleavage to occur, plasmids must be transformed and isolated from a dam-, dcm- strain of E.coli, such as NEB’s dam-/dcm- Competent E.coli (NEB #C2925).
