Methylation Sensitivity
: Blocked by overlapping dam methylation
: Not sensitive to dcm and CpG methylation
Unit definition :
One Unit is defined as the amount of Bcl I required to completely digest 1 §¶ of ¥ë(dam-) DNA in one hour at 50¡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 Bcl I and 42~43 §¡ of sterile water in 50 §¡ reaction mixture. Incubate at 50¡É.
Heat Inactivation
: No

Activity in a complete PCR Mix : 75~100% 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 Bcl I. And then incubate at 50¡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 Bcl I for one hour was showing after incubation of 1 §¶ of ¥ë DNA with units of Bcl I for 16 hr in 50 §¡ of reaction mixture at 50¡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 Bcl I.
