EcoR I

Recognition Sequence:

Heat inactivation: 20 minutes at 65°C.

Ligation and recutting: After 50-fold overdigestion with EcoR I,
>98 % of the DNA fragments can be ligated and recut with this enzyme.

Star activity: Conditions of low ionic strength, high enzyme concentration, glycerol concentration >5 %, or pH >8.0 may result in star activity.

DNA Methylation:
No Inhibition: dam, dcm
Inhibition (Impaired by overlapping): CpG

Unit Definition: One unit is the amount of enzyme required to completely digest 1 µg of Lambda DNA (5 sites) in 1 hour in a total reaction volume of 50 µl. Enzyme activity was determined in the recommended reaction buffer.
