Frequently asked questions
What does AvrII recognize?
AvrII recognizes the 6 bp sequence CCTAGG (5′→3′), cutting the top strand between position 1 and 2 within the site to leave a 5′ overhang of 4 bases.
What buffer should I use for AvrII?
rCutSmart gives the highest activity (incubate at 37°C).
Does AvrII have star activity?
No documented star activity under standard reaction conditions.
Is AvrII blocked by DNA methylation?
Not blocked by Dam, Dcm, or CpG methylation.
Can I heat-inactivate AvrII?
Yes — 80°C for 20 minutes.
