Unit definition :
One Unit is defined as the amount of Ava II required to completely digest 1 §¶ of ¥ë DNA in one hour at 37¡É in 50 §¡ assay mixture.
Typical Reaction Conditions
: Add 5 §¡ of 10X Reaction Buffer 'C'[final conc.: 10 mM Tris-HCl(pH 7.9 @ 37¡É), 10 mM MgCl2, 50 mM NaCl, 1 mM DTT], 1~2 §¡ of DNA(0.5~1.0 §¶/§¡), 1 §¡ of Ava II and 42~43 §¡ of sterile water in 50 §¡ reaction mixture. Incubate at 37¡É.
Heat Inactivation
: 65¡É for 20 min.

Activity in a complete PCR Mix : less than 10% Conditions: [10 mM Tris-HCl(pH 8.3 @ 25¡É), 50 mM KCl, 1.5 mM MgCl2, 2 pmol of primers, 200 ¥ìM dNTP Mix, 2.5 U Taq DNA polymerase and 1 §¶ of DNA(template or substrate) in 50 §¡ of reaction volume] After 30 amplication cycles, add 5 units of Ava II. And then incubate at 37¡É for one hour. Relative activity is determined by gel electrophoresis.
Storage Conditions
: 10 mM Tris-HCl(pH 7.4 @ 25¡É), 50 mM KCl, 0.1 mM EDTA, 1 mM DTT, 200 §¶/§¢ BSA, and 50% glycerol. Store at -20¡É.

Quality control
Overdigestion: The same band pattern as a digestion in one unit of Ava II for one hour was showing after incubation of 1 §¶ of ¥ë DNA with units of Ava II for 16 hr in 50 §¡ of reaction mixture at 37¡É as determined by agarose gel electrophoresis.
Ligation-Recut: After a 10-fold digestion for one hour, % of ¥ë DNA fragments were ligated with T4 DNA ligase at 16¡É and % of the ligated fragments could be recut with Ava II.
