Features

Unit Definition
One FastDigest® Unit (FDU) is the amount of the enzyme required to cleave 1 µg of pUC19 DNA with insert containing BcuI recognition sequence in 5 min at 37°C in 1X FastDigest® buffer.

Concentration
1 FDU/µl.

Recommended
buffer

Reaction conditions

Temperature Time
FastDigest® buffer 37°C 5 min

Thermal Inactivation
Phenol/chloroform extraction and ethanol precipitation of DNA. Thermal inactivation is not applicable for FastDigest® SpeI (BcuI).

Digestion of Plasmid DNA
1 µl of FastDigest® SpeI (BcuI) digests up to 1 µg of plasmid DNA in 5 min, see Protocol for Fast Digestion and Analysis of Plasmid DNA with FastDigest® Enzymes and Protocol for Fast Vector Preparation with FastDigest® Enzymes.

Digestion of PCR Products
1 µl of FastDigest® SpeI (BcuI) digests ~0.2 µg of PCR product in 5 min, see Protocol for Fast Digestion of PCR Products with FastDigest® Enzymes.

Digestion of Genomic DNA
1 µl of FastDigest® SpeI (BcuI) digests 1 µg of genomic DNA in 5 min, or 5 µg of genomic DNA in 30 min, see Protocol for Fast Digestion of Genomic DNA with FastDigest® Enzymes.

Ligation and Recleavage
After overdigestion with 1 µl of FastDigest® SpeI (BcuI) for 1 hour, more than 80% of the DNA fragments can be ligated and more than 90% of these can be recut.
