Buy Bioneer products from MSE Supplies at the best value.

Tfi DNA Ligase binds between 5'-phosphate terminal and the 3'-hydroxyl terminal of to the truncated double-stranded DNA molecules with a phosphodiester bond. As the reaction temperature between 45 ° C and 65 ° C,  its activity can be kept especially stable even at higher temperature than other T4 DNA ligases and E. coli DNA ligases.

Unit Definition

One unit of Tfi DNA Ligase is defined as the amount of enzyme required to give 50% ligation of the 12 base pair cohesive ends of 1 ug of PspE I digested lambda DNA in 10min at 45℃.

Activity Assay Conditions

The activity assay is carried out in a 20 μl  reaction containing 1 ug of Psp E I digested lambda DNA and 1 x Tfi DNA ligase reaction buffer. After incubation at 45℃ for 10 min, the reaction is terminated by an addition of a stop solution (40% (w/v) sucrose, 50 mM EDTA and 0.25% bromophenol blue). Then heat at 70℃ for 10 min and immediately load on a 0.8% agarose gel.

Stability

The half-life of the enzyme in 1 x reaction buffer is more than 1 hour at 95℃ and 55 hours at 65℃.

Note: Tfi DNA Ligase should not be used as a substitute for other DNA ligase, i.e., T4 DNA Ligase.
