High-Fidelity (HF®) restriction enzymes have the same specificity as native enzymes, but have been engineered for significantly reduced star activity and performance in a single buffer (rCutSmart™ Buffer).  All HF-restriction enzymes come with Gel Loading Dye, Purple (6X).  Enjoy the enhanced performance and added value of our engineered enzymes at the same price as the native enzyme:

  • Engineered for improved performance
  • Optimized for Golden Gate Assembly; maintains high activity levels in T4 DNA Ligase Buffer often used in this application
  • Type IIS restriction enzymes recognize asymmetric DNA sequences and cleave outside of their recognition sequence
  • 100% activity in rCutSmart Buffer
  • Time-Saver™ qualified for digestion in 5-15 minutes
  • Reduced star activity
  • NEB has developed convenient kits (using BsmBI-v2 and BsaI-HFv2) for performing Golden Gate Assembly.
  • Can be used with NEBridge® Ligase Master Mix for Golden Gate Assembly
  • Restriction Enzyme Cut Site: GGTCTC(1/5)

"I really, really love BsaI-HFv2. We are back to getting phenomenal GGA results again with very little background."

    Function and Application of Type IIS Restriction Enzymes

BsaI-HF®v2 has been optimized for Golden Gate Assembly. BsaI-HFv2 also works well for any protocol requiring DNA cutting by BsaI. This is the recommended enzyme for any purpose requiring digestion at the recognition sequence: 5′-GGTCTC(N1)/(N5)-3′.

High Fidelity (HF) Restriction Enzymes have 100% activity in CutSmart Buffer; single-buffer simplicity means more straightforward and streamlined sample processing. HF enzymes also exhibit dramatically reduced star activity. HF enzymes are all Time-Saver qualified and can therefore cut substrate DNA in 5-15 minutes with the flexibility to digest overnight without degradation to DNA. Engineered with performance in mind, HF restriction enzymes are fully active under a broader range of conditions, minimizing off-target products, while offering flexibility in experimental design.
