HgaI

The following reagents are supplied with this product:

NEB #	Component Name	Component #	Stored at (°C)	Amount	Concentration
R0154S     -20       HgaI R0154SVIAL -20 1 x 0.05 ml 2,000 units/ml   NEBuffer™ r1.1 B6001SVIAL -20 1 x 1.25 ml 10 X

1. Of the over 3,000 known restriction endonucleases, HgaI is one of the few that produces extensions of more than 4 bases.
2. Overdigestions with > 5 units of HgaI per µg of DNA is not recommended.
3. HgaI loses activity in the absence of substrate and is essentially inactive after one hour at 37°C.
4. Based on the stability of the enzyme in the reaction, incubations longer than 1 hr will not result in improved digestion, unless additional enzyme is added. Please refer to Restriction endonuclease survival in a reaction for more information regarding this topic.
5. Blocked by CpG methylation.
6. star activity may result from extended digestion, high enzyme concentration or a glycerol concentration of >5%.

1. Is HgaI activity sensitive to dam, dcm or mammalian CpG methylation?
2. How many base pairs should be added at the end of a PCR primer after the HgaI recognition site to guarantee that HgaI will cut properly?
3. Does HgaI have any neoschizomers?
4. Does HgaI exhibit star activity?
5. Can you tell me more about the switch from BSA to Recombinant Albumin (rAlbumin) in NEBuffers?
