We are transitioning to our new website at www.neb.com, which will go live on April 7th, 2025.
On April 2nd at 8:00 PM ET, www.neb.ca e-commerce functionality will be disabled for the website transition. If you need to place your order between April 2nd at 8:00 pm ET to April 6th, then please call 1-800-387-1095 or email orders.ca@neb.com.
The transition to the new website will not affect our shipping schedule. If you're a registered user, all your account details, including order history and shipping details will be safely transferred to the new site.McrBC is an endonuclease which cleaves DNA containing methylcytosine* on one or both strands. Sites on the DNA recognized by McrBC consist of two half-sites of the form (G/A)mC. These half-sites can be separated by up to 3 kb, but the optimal separation is 55-103 base pairs.
*5-methylcytosine or 5-hydroxymethylcytosine
McrBC is an endonuclease which cleaves DNA containing methylcytosine* on one or both strands. McrBC will not act upon unmethylated DNA (1). Sites on the DNA recognized by McrBC consist of two half-sites of the form (G/A)mC. These half-sites can be separated by up to 3 kb, but the optimal separation is 55-103 base pairs (2,3). McrBC requires GTP for cleavage, but in the presence of a non-hydrolyzable analog of GTP, the enzyme will bind to methylated DNA specifically, without cleavage (4).
*5-methylcytosine or 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5).
