Recognition sequence: 5′-CCC/GGG-3′ Cutting results: a 2-10-fold Sma I overdigestion of 1 μg λ DNA substrate results in 100% cutting Heat inactivation: 65 °C for 15 minutes.
Application
SmaI is a restriction endonuclease used to cut DNA at the recognition sequence 5′-CCC/GGG-3′, generating DNA fragments with blunt termini.
Other Notes
Supplied with 10x Restriction Enzyme Buffer SA (B7531).
Comment: Half-life of Sma I at 37 °C is approximately 15 minutes.
Linkage
Isoschizomer: Xma I. Unlike Xma I, Sma I produces blunt-ended fragments.
Unit Definition
One unit is the enzyme activity that completely cleaves 1 mg of λDNA in 1 hr. at 25 °C in a total volume of 25 ml of 1x digestion buffer SA forrestriction enzymes.
Physical form
Solution in 10 mM potassium phosphate, pH 7.0, 1 mM EDTA, 300 mM NaCl, 5 mM dithiothreitol, 50% glycerol (v/v) , 0.02% polydocanol (v/v), at 4 °C

The newly described Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 6C accounted for 2.3% (16/709) of meningitis cases and 3.2% (3/95) of nasopharyngeal isolates from healthy individuals in Brazil. The strains were multidrug resistant (18.8%) and genetically diverse. Despite low serotype 6C prevalence, continuous

The properties and sources of all known class-I, class-II and class-III restriction endonucleases (ENases) and DNA modification methyltransferases (MTases) are listed and newly subclassified according to their sequence specificity. In addition, the enzymes are distinguished in a novel manner according
Type IIB restriction-modification systems, such as BcgI, feature a single protein with both endonuclease and methyltransferase activities. Type IIB nucleases require two recognition sites and cut both strands on both sides of their unmodified sites. BcgI cuts all eight target
