Notes
  • FokI can cleave between virtually any two nucleotides by constructing a complementary oligonucleotide to the sequence to be cleaved (Szybalski, W. (1985) Gene 40, 169-173, Podhajska, A. and Szybalski, W. (1985) Gene 40, 175-182).
  • Overdigestions of >5 units of FokI per μg of DNA is not recommended.
  • 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.
  • Requires two or more sites for cleavage. Please review the enzyme list and recommendations in the following table as well as the background information article.
  • Impaired by overlapping dcm methylation and by overlapping CpG methylation.
