Compatible ends
: with any blunt end
Isoschizomers
: Smi I
Methylation Sensitivity
: Not sensitive to dcm, dam and CpG methylation
Unit definition :
One Unit is defined as the amount of Swa I required to completely digest 1 §¶ of Ad-2 DNA in one hour at 25¡É in 50 §¡ assay mixture.
Typical Reaction Conditions
: Add 5 §¡ of 10X Reaction Buffer 'Swa I'[final conc.: 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.9 @ 25¡É), 10 mM MgCl2, 100 mM NaCl, 1 mM DTT], 1~2 §¡ of DNA(0.5~1.0 §¶/§¡), 5 §¡ of 10X BSA(final conc.: 100 §¶/§¢), 1 §¡ of Swa I and 37~38 §¡ of sterile water in 50 §¡ reaction mixture. Incubate at 25¡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 Swa I. And then incubate at 25¡É for one hour. Relative activity is determined by gel electrophoresis.
Storage Conditions
: 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.4 @ 25¡É), 400 mM NaCl, 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 Swa I for one hour was showing after incubation of 1 §¶ of Ad-2 DNA with units of Swa I for 16 hr in 50 §¡ of reaction mixture at 25¡É as determined by agarose gel electrophoresis.
Ligation-Recut: After a 10-fold digestion for one hour, % of Ad-2 DNA fragments were ligated with T4 DNA ligase at 16¡É and % of the ligated fragments could be recut with Swa I.

Notes
- Conditions of low ionic strength, high enzyme concentration, glycerol > 5%, or pH > 8.0 may result in star activity.
- Swa I is very unstable at 37¡ÆC(50% activiy). The reaction temperature for Swa I is 25¡ÆC.
