Bcl-I-cutsite_1

Isoschizomers | Single Letter Code | Pronunciation:

High-Fidelity (HF^®) restriction enzymes have the same specificity as native enzymes, but have been engineered for significantly reduced star activity and performance in a single buffer (CutSmart^® Buffer). All HF-restriction enzymes come with Gel Loading Dye, Purple (6X). Enjoy the enhanced performance and added value of our engineered enzymes at the same price as the native enzyme:

Engineered for improved performance
100% activity in CutSmart Buffer
Time-Saver™ qualified for digestion in 5-15 minutes
Reduced star activity
Supplied with 1 vial of Gel Loading Dye, Purple (6X)

Product Information
High Fidelity (HF) Restriction Enzymes have 100% activity in CutSmart Buffer; single-buffer simplicity means more straightforward and streamlined sample processing. HF enzymes also exhibit dramatically reduced star activity. HF enzymes are all Time-Saver qualified and can therefore cut substrate DNA in 5-15 with the flexibility to digest overnight without degradation to DNA. Engineered with performance in mind, HF restriction enzymes are fully active under a broader range of conditions, minimizing off-target products, while offering flexibility in experimental design.

Product Source
An E. coli strain that carries the cloned and modified BclI gene from Bacillus caldolyticus (A. Atkinson).

- Troubleshooting
  Restriction Enzyme Troubleshooting Guide
- 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).
