Other Notes

Supplied with 10x Restriction Endonuclease Buffer SB (B8781).

Specificity

Recognition sequence: 5′-GAT/ATC-3′
Ligation and recutting results: After 2-10-fold Eco RV overdigestion of 1 μg λ DNA substrate, results in 100% cutting, >85% of fragments can be ligated, and >95% recut.
Heat inactivation: 80 °C for 20 minutes.

Physical form

Solution in 20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 1 mM EDTA, 0.1 mM PMSF, 100 mM NaCl, 10 mM 2-mercaptoethanol, 0.02% polydocanol (v/v), 0.1 mM PMSF, 50% glycerol (v/v) at 4°C

Application

EcoRV is a DNA restriction endonuclease used in molecular biology applications to cleave the recognition site 5′-GAT/ATC-3′, generating DNA fragments with blunt termini.
