A: No. BccI is not sensitive to dam, dcm or CpG methylation. For up-to-date information about methylation sensitivities, please visit Dam-Dcm and CpG Methylation or REBASE. Q: How many base pairs should be added at the end of a PCR primer after the BccI recognition site to guarantee that BccI will cut properly? A: The addition of 6 base pairs is recommended. Q: Does BccI have any isoschizomers\/neoschizomers? A: No. For the most current information about isoschizomers\/neoschizomers please refer to REBASE. Q: Does BccI exhibit star activity? A: Under conditions of low ionic strength, high enzyme concentration, glycerol concentration \u0026gt;5%, pH \u0026gt;8.0 or long incubation periods BccI can exhibit star activity. Q: I tested your restriction enzyme on the substrate DNA recommended by NEB, and it appears to be active, however it does not digest my DNA. What could be the reason? A: The quality and cleanliness of the DNA are major factors that can affect enzyme activity. Restriction Enzymes active in rCutSmart® Buffer, but not as active in NEBuffer r2.1 and\/or r3.1 (our higher salt buffers), can be inhibited by salt in the reaction. DNA purification procedures that use spin columns can result in DNA solutions with significant levels of salt that can carry over into the reaction and inhibit enzyme activity. To prevent this, we recommend that the DNA solution added to the reaction be no more than 25% of the total reaction volume. This can be attained by adjusting the total reaction volume accordingly. 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.
