Specificity

Recognition sequence: 5′-GGCC(N)4/NGGCC-3′
Cutting results: a 2-10-fold Sfi I overdigestion of 1 μg Ad-2 DNA substrate results in 100% cutting

Application

SfiI is a DNA restriction enzyme that is used in molecular biological methods to cleave DNA at the recognition site 5′-GGCC(N)4/NGGCC-3′ to generate fragments with 3′-cohesive termini.

Food and patient isolates from an Escherichia coli O157:H7 outbreak associated with undercooked ground beef were characterized by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and Shiga-like toxin genotype. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis confirmed the epidemiologically implicated source of the two-state outbreak and differentiated between
