The extent of protection by HhaI Methyltransferase is determined by the addition of 40 μl rCutSmart Buffer supplemented with 100 µg\/ml BSA, 10 mM MgCl 2 and 10 units of HhaI restriction endonuclease. Incubation at 37°C for 30 minutes is followed by analysis on an agarose gel.  \u003cb\u003eStorage Buffer\u003c\/b\u003e 50 mM Tris-HCl 150 mM NaCl 5 mM TCEP 0.1 mM EDTA 200 µg\/ml BSA pH 7.5 @ 25°C  \u003cb\u003eHeat Inactivation\u003c\/b\u003e No  \u003cb\u003eMolecular Weight\u003c\/b\u003e Theoretical: 36994 daltons  \u003cb\u003eFAQ\u003c\/b\u003e Q: Is S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) supplied with the Methyltransferase? A: Yes, a stock solution is provided at 32mM. It can also be ordered separately as product NEB# B9003S. The SAM is the most labile component of the reaction. If the stock solution is older than 9 months it should be replaced. Q: What should be considered if the methylation is not going to completion? A: The SAM is the most labile component of the reaction. If the stock solution is older than 6 months it should be replaced. Q: What is the molecular weight of HhaI Methyltransferase? A: The molecular weight is 36,994 daltons. Q: Will any NEB methyltransferases (methylases) work on RNA? A: Yes, EcoGII Methyltransferase (NEB #M0603) produces 5-10% methylated adenosine residues on RNA substrates. However, other methyltransferases do not. Please note: NEB has tested the following transferases\/methylases (MT): dam Methyltransferase (NEB #M0222), AluI Methyltransferase (NEB #M0220), BamHI Methyltransferase (NEB #M0223), M.SssI Methyltransferase (NEB #M0226), EcoRI Methyltransferase (NEB #M0211), M.CviPI Methyltransferase (NEB #M0227), HaeIII Methyltransferase (NEB #M0224), HhaI Methyltransferase (NEB #M0217), HpaII Methyltransferase (NEB #M0214), MspI Methyltransferase (NEB #M0215) and TaqI Methyltransferase (NEB #M0219) using their supplied reaction buffers on two substrates:1) An in vitro transcribed mRNA encoding Firefly luciferase (1 µg) and 2) total HeLa RNA (250 ng). Each substrate was incubated with two amounts of enzyme (1 and 5 µl) for 1 hour at 37°C (65°C for Taq I MT), cleaned up using a spin column, digested to individual nucleosides using an enzyme cocktail and analyzed by LC\/MS to identify modified and unmodified residues. None of the methylases examined were able to transfer a methyl group to the RNA substrates examined. Q: Can you tell me more about the switch from BSA to Recombinant Albumin (rAlbumin) in NEBuffers? A: NEB is excited to announce that we have switched BSA-containing reaction buffers (NEBuffer 1.1, 2.1, 3.1 and CutSmart® Buffer) to Recombinant Albumin-containing buffers (NEBuffer r1.1, r2.1, r3.1 and rCutSmart™ Buffer). We are also in the process of moving all restriction enzyme formulations to contain rAlbumin. We feel that moving away from animal-containing products is a step in the right direction and are able to offer this enhancement at the same price.
