1. SfoI is an isoschizomer of EheI, KasI and NarI.
2. 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.
3. For enzymes that cannot be heat-inactivated, we recommend using a column for cleanup (such as the Monarch® PCR & DNA Cleanup Kit), or running the reaction on an agarose gel and then extracting the DNA (we recommend Monarch Gel Extraction Kit), or performing a phenol/chloroform extraction.
4. Blocked by some combinations of overlapping dcm methylation and CpG methylation.

1. How does SfoI differ from its isoschizomers?
2. Do I have to set-up digests with Time-Saver™ qualified enzymes for 5-15 minutes? Can I digest longer?
3. Is this enzyme sensitive to dam, dcm or mammalian CpG methylation?
4. Can you tell me more about the switch from BSA to Recombinant Albumin (rAlbumin) in NEBuffers?
