  Source : Bacillus  stearothermophilus  X1 
 Compatible ends (NNNN¡¦3') 
 BstX I has no compatible ends to other known restriction enzymes. 
 Isoschizomers 
 : BstHZ55 I 
 Methylation Sensitivity 
 : Not sensitive to dam and CpG methylation 
: Blocked by overlapping dcm methylation 
 Unit definition : One Unit is defined as the amount of BstX I required to completely digest 1 §¶ of ¥ë DNA in one hour at 50¡É in 50 §¡ assay mixture. 
  Typical Reaction Conditions : Add 5 §¡ of 10X Reaction Buffer 'D'[final conc.: 6 mM Tris-HCl(pH 7.9 @ 37¡É), 6 mM MgCl2, 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM DTT], 1~2 §¡ of DNA(0.5~1.0 §¶/§¡), 1 §¡ of BstX I and 42~43 §¡ of sterile water in 50 §¡ reaction mixture. Incubate at 50¡É. 
 
 Heat Inactivation : 65¡É for 20 min.

 Activity in a complete PCR Mix : 10~50% 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 BstX I. And then incubate at 50¡É for one hour. Relative activity is determined by gel electrophoresis. 
 Storage Conditions : 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5 @ 25¡É), 400 mM KCl, 0.1 mM EDTA, 1 mM DTT, 0.15% Triton¢â X-100, 100 §¶/§¢ BSA, and 50% glycerol. Store at -20¡É.

 Quality control 
Overdigestion: The same band pattern as a digestion in one unit of BstX I for one hour was showing after incubation of 1 §¶ of ¥ë DNA with         units of BstX 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 BstX I.  |
