Bacteroides Heparinase I, also called Heparin Lyase I, is active on heparin and the highly sulfated domains of heparan sulfate. The reaction yields oligosaccharide products containing unsaturated uronic acids which can be detected by UV spectroscopy at 232 nm.
The following reagents are supplied with this product:
NEB # | Component Name | Component # | Stored at (°C) | Amount | Concentration |

Incubate at 30°C
20 mM Tris-HCl
100 mM NaCl
5 mM CaCl2
1 mM EDTA
pH 7.5 @ 25°C
Bacteroides Heparinase I cleaves highly sulfated heparin/HS chains
Bacteroides Heparinase I is most active between pH 6.5-7.5
Bacteroides Heparinase I is calcium dependent and has greatest activity in the presence of 1.5 - 5mM CaCl2.
Bacteroides Heparinase I can be used in double digests with Bacteroides Heparinase II and III using the Heparinase reaction buffer.
