Notes
  • BstNI is an isoschizomer of EcoRII but cuts DNA at a different location. (EcoRII cuts before the two C residues).
  • BstNI produces DNA fragments that have a single-base 5´ extension which are more difficult to ligate than blunt-ended fragments. More efficient ligation can be achieved by using the Quick Ligation Kit (NEB #M2200).
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Not sensitive to CpG, dcm, or dam methylation.
