Kpn I

Recognition Sequence:

Heat inactivation: No.

Ligation and recutting: After ten-fold overdigestion with Kpn I,
>95 % 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, CpG

Unit Definition: One unit is the amount of enzyme required to completely digest 1 µg of Lambda DNA (EcoR I digest; 2 sites) in 1 hour in a total reaction volume of 50 µl. Enzyme activity was determined in the recommended reaction buffer.
