Genei restriction enzymes are supplied in convenient pack sizesand suitable concentrations. We are supplying commonly usedenzymes in high concentration to aid genomic DNA digestions.Each lot of enzyme is rigorously checked for its integrity andfunctional purity during and after the process. All batches ofrestriction enzymes are assayed for their activity once everytwo months. Stability checks have confirmed that most ofthe enzymes are stable at -20° C for more than one year.Concentrated enzymes stay active longer than dilute enzymes.
We have divided the restriction enzymes based on the assayconditions into five groups for the convenience of the user.The enzymes and the buffer vials are colour coded. 10X assay
buffer and 100X nuclease free BSA (wherever needed) is suppliedfree of cost with the enzyme. Genei also caters to your additionalrequirement of reaction buffers. For reaction buffer set referindex. Unique buffer is supplied for the enzyme which performssub-optimally with the existing five assay buffers. The detailsof incubation buffer system is given in the catalogue.
Quality Checks:
Unit Definition:
The catalytic activity of the restriction enzymes available fromus is based on the determination of the minimum amount ofenzyme required for the generation of the enzyme-specific final
fragment pattern of lambda DNA in most cases.One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme required to producea complete digest of 1 µg of lambda DNA in a reaction volumeof 50 µl in 60 minutes under optimal conditions of salt, pHand temperature.
In some cases the determination of the unit is based on digestionof λ dam- DNA, pBR 322 DNA, Ad2 DNA,λ / EcoR I digest orλ / Hind III digest.
Overnight Non-specific Nuclease Assay:
Every preparation of restriction enzyme is tested for non-specific nucleases. Varying units of enzyme is incubated with
1 µg of substrate DNA at the recommended assay conditionsin 50 µl reaction volume for 16 - 20 hours. A sharp unalteredbanding pattern is an indication of the purity of enzyme freefrom detectable non-specific nucleases. The highest numberof units producing sharp unaltered pattern is reported on thecertificate of analysis supplied with each enzyme.
Non-Specific Endonuclease assay:
The test is done for enzymes that do not have any site insupercoiled plasmid substrate. These enzymes are incubatedwith 1 µg of supercoiled (RFI form) DNA in 0.05 ml reaction
Restriction Enzymes
volume for 4 hours at the recommended assay conditions. Asingle non-specific nick in the supercoiled form produces nicked(RF-II) form. The two forms can be distinguished on an agarosegel and the percentage of conversion estimated.
Ligation/Recut Assay:
The DNA fragments produced by a 3 to 10 fold excess ofrestriction enzyme digestion are ligated. Following the ligation,the DNA fragments are recut with the same restriction enzyme.An unaltered banding pattern after cleavage indicates intact5’ and 3’ termini as well as the absence of contaminatingnucleases. The estimated level of ligation and re-cleavage mustexceed 70-90%.
Blue/White Standard Assay:
This is a very sensitive assay for the restriction enzymes used incloning applications. This assay allows the detection of very lowlevels of nuclease contamination present in restriction enzymes.This assay is performed for those enzymes that have site presentin the multiple cloning region that is in turn present within LacZα gene of the plasmid.
The assay is performed by cleaving the plasmid with 3-10fold excess of enzyme. The cleaved DNA is ligated and usedto transform competent DH5α E.coli cells. The transformedcells are grown on a selective medium to ensure that all the
colonies that grow arise from an E.coli transformed with theligated vector. These colonies are tested for the integrity of thepolylinker site by checking for the presence of the functionalß-galactosidase locus. Only those colonies that turn blue onaddition of X-gal and IPTG have ß-galactosidase locus intactthat in turn indicates that the polylinker site (that lies withinthis structural gene) was unchanged by cut and religation. Thepermitted percentage of white colonies is upto 2% for stickyend generating enzymes and upto 10% for blunt end generatingenzymes.
Star activity: Genei recommends very careful use of a fewenzymes which are very sensitive to slightly altered assayconditions. The enzymes which exhibit star activity when highunits/µg of DNA and/or incubated for long hours are BamH I,EcoR I, Kpn I, Nco I, Hinf I, PvuII, Sau3A I, Ssp I, Sal I, Nhe Iand Kpn I.

Tips to use Restriction Enzymes
• All restriction enzymes and 10X assay buffers should be storedat -20°C. Thaw the assay buffers completely before use.
• Restriction enzymes should be kept on ice when they are notin the freezer.
• The enzyme should always be the last component added tothe reaction mixture.
• The substrate DNA should be free of contaminations such asphenol, chloroform, alcohol, EDTA, detergents or excessivesalts all of which can interfere with restriction enzymeactivity.
• Nature of DNA and DNA Methylation is also an importantelement of a restriction digestion so it is advisable to checkthe amount of enzyme needed to cleave the substrate priorto the actual experiment.
• The restriction enzyme: DNA: reaction volume ratio according
to the unit definition is 1 U: 1 µg: 50 µl and can be used asa guide when designing a reaction mixture.
• Smaller volumes are more susceptible to pipetting errors.• An important point to keep in mind for a successful digestion
is mixing. Ensure thorough mixing for complete digestion. Werecommend gentle up and down pipetting of reaction mixturefollowed by a short spin in microcentrifuge.
• Incubation time may be shortened if an excess of restrictionenzyme is added to the reaction mixture and vice versa.
• Enzymes should be diluted (if required) using respectivedilution buffer. The diluted enzymes should be used thesame day.
•
The termination of the reaction may be done either by addingstop solution or by heat inactivation at 65°C for 20 minutes.Phenol-chloroform extraction may be followed as analternative method for the restriction enzymes that cannotbe heat inactivated.
Factors Influencing RestrictionEnzyme Activity Nature of DNA :The nature of the substrate strongly influences the activity ofrestriction enzymes. The most important parameters are :
• base distribution in natural DNA•
tertiary structure of DNA• base composition of the flanking sequence• the position of the cleavage site with respect to each other.
If the DNA has contaminants like phenol, chloroform, alcohol,detergents, EDTA the restriction enzyme activity will beinhibited.
Temperature :
Optimal digestion of DNA varies over a wide temperaturerange for different restriction enzymes. The restrictionenzymes supplied by Genei include enzymes for which
the optimum incubation temperature is d ifferentfrom the standard incubation temperature of 37°C.These enzymes are listed below.
Enzymes Assay Temperature
Apa I 25°C
Bst E II 60°C
Sma I 25°C
Taq I 65°C
Tris-HCl is the most commonly used buffering agent in incubationmixtures. This buffer system is markedly temperature dependent.The change in pH per 10°C amounts to approx 0.3.
Another important factor affecting the optimum activity isthe appropriate ionic environment. Mg2+ ions are an absoluterequirement for all restriction enzymes, whereas the addition
of other salt components depends on the different nucleases.Sometimes the presence of BSA in the reaction mix has thecrucial influence on the activity of enzymes, because it stabilizesthe enzyme, binds some impurities, prevents the enzymeadsorption to the test tube surface.
Factors Influencing RestrictionEnzyme Activity contd...Methylation of DNA :
Restriction endonucleases are part of prokaryotic restriction/modification systems. The digestion of DNA isolated duringcloning steps in bacterial cells can be strongly affected by themethylation of specific adenosine or cytosine residues in therecognition sequence of the restriction enzyme of interest.
Many E.coli host strains possess two nucleotide sequence specificmethylases; thedam methylase which modifies adenine residues toN⁶-methyladenine in the sequence GATC and the dcmmethylase which modifies the internal cytosine residues to5-methylcytosine in CCAGG or CCTGG sequences. Digestion ofDNA may be inhibited by dam ordcm methylation sequences.

CpG Methylation is found in higher eukaryotes. These enzymes(e.g. Dnmt1) transfer a methyl group to the C5 position ofcytosine residues. Patterns of CpG methylation are heritable,tissue specific, and correlate with gene expression. ConsequentlyCpG methylation has been postulated to play a role indifferentiation and gene expression.
This CpG methylation patterns will not be retained once theDNA is cloned into a bacterial host.

Unit definitions
Unit definition varies from enzyme to enzyme and is given inthe product description of this catalogue.
Performance Test
Each enzyme is tested for its performance using tests that arementioned in product description.
Assay for non-specific endonuclease
All modifying enzymes are checked for the absence ofnon-specific endonuclease activity by incubating excess of theenzyme with supercoiled plasmid DNA for several hours anddetermining the level of nicking in supercoiled form. The highestnumber of units producing unaltered pattern is reported on the
data sheet supplied with the enzyme.
Assay for exonuclease activity
The absence of exonuclease activity is checked for all theenzymes by incubating the enzyme with lambda substrate for
several hours and running on an agarose gel. The sharp patternindicates the absence of exonuclease. The highest number ofunits producing unaltered pattern is reported on the data sheetsupplied with the enzyme.

Products for PCRPolymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is an effective tool tosynthesize defined sequences of DNA using thermostablepolymerases. PCR exploits the inherent stability of theseenzymes at high temperatures to amplify about a million copiesof desired DNA fragment using two specific oligonucleotideprimers that anneal to opposite strands flanking the target DNAsequence to be amplified.
PCR is now widely used in cloning and sequencing DNAfragments, as a diagnostic tool and to generate labelled probes.To cater to these varied applications, Genei has a range of PCRenzymes, buffers, kits and optimized protocols.
Taq DNA Polymerase : Taq DNA Polymerase, a thermostableenzyme used in most routine PCR amplifications for sizesranging from 100 bp to 3 Kb, is a highly pure enzyme that lacks3'-5' exonuclease (proof reading) activity. The enzyme can alsobe used in applications like RAPD, RFLP and AFLP studies todetect variations within the genomes of species.
HotStart Taq DNA Polymerase : HotStart Taq DNA Polymerase,used for improved PCR specificity, is an optimized mixture of
highly purified Taq DNA Polymerase with high affinity anti-Taqmonoclonal antibody that inhibits polymerase activity at suboptimal temperatures by binding to Taq DNA Polymerase.
Effi -Taq™ DNA Polymerase : Effi -Taq™ DNA Polymerase amodified form of Taq DNA Polymerase is supplied in an inactivestate that has no polymerase activity at ambient temperature.It is suitable for PCR systems with complex genomic templates,complex cDNA templates (RT-PCR), very low copy targets,multiple primers reaction (Multiplex PCR), high throughput PCRprocedures and systems that are prone to form Primer Dimer.
PR Polymerase : PR Polymerase, used in PCR reactions that
require high fidelity synthesis, is a thermostable enzyme thatexhibits strong ProofReading activity. The 3'-5' exonucleasemediated proofreading activity enables the enzyme torepair mis-incorporated nucleotides and reduce errorsduring polymerisation. This enzyme is ideal for high fidelityamplifications of short stretches of target DNA (< 1.5 kb).
An improved and more defined range of long PCR enzymeswith higher fidelity is now made available to the scientists. Forhigher sensitivity and better yield, we have two sets of longPCR enzyme systems.

HotStart Taq DNA PolymeraseMost thermophilic polymerases exhibit significant polymeraseactivity even at ambient temperatures resulting in lowsensitivity and non-specificity leading to misinterpretation ofresults specifically in clinical applications. This can be avoidedby adding enzyme after the initial denaturation (Manual HotStart). Hence there has been a clear trend towards the useof Thermostable Polymerases that remain inactive at lowertemperatures (below 50°C).
HotStart Taq DNA Polymerase is an optimized mixture ofhighly purified Taq DNA Polymerase with high affinity anti-Taqmonoclonal antibody that inhibits polymerase activity by
binding to Taq DNA Polymerase. The enzyme remains inactiveuntil the reaction mixture reaches higher temperature. Completeactivation is restored after the initial denaturation step at 94°C for2-5 minutes, thereby providing an automatic "Hot start" forTaq DNA Polymerase.
Performance Test:
• Hotstart Taq DNA Polymerase is tested extensively for itsreproducible performance in critical PCR amplifications andin Reverse Transcription-PCR.
• Enzyme is tested for amplification of 131 bp fragment of TNFgene and 400 bp fragment of ß−globin gene from humangenomic DNA using non-optimal primers.
• Enzyme is tested for detecting different subtypes of HumanPapilloma virus (HPV) using consensus primers.

RAPD Primer SetsRAPD (Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA) is a polymorphismassay which is based on the amplification of random DNAsegments using sets of primers of arbitrary nucleotide sequence.In theory, the primer anneals to many regions of the genomesimultaneously. However, geometric amplification only occursin those regions in which the 3' end of the annealed primersface one another on opposite strands and are no more than3 Kb apart. Thus, the technique essentially scans a genome forthese small inverted repeats and amplifies intervening DNAsequences of variable length.
The RAPD Primer Set is designed for different organisms. Thereare five different primer sets available for bacteria, fungi,plants, animals and humans. It enables the user to choose theappropriate primer set for fingerprinting.

Amplification Reagents Set(for Mycobacterium tuberculosis )
Tuberculosis continues to be the leading cause of morbidity
and mortality by an infectious disease worldwide. Effectivetreatment of TB requires the rapid detection of Mycobacteriumtuberculosis.
This set is based on the principle of single tube nested PCRtargeting the IS6110 sequence that is present in multiple copiesin the genome of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex.Studies have shown that highest sensitivity is obtained byusing IS6110 nested PCR when compared to PCR targetingother regions.
The diagnosis of TB is made by microscopy and culture.Direct Microscopy lacks sensitivity and specificity. Culture ismore sensitive and is still the yardstick for diagnosis, but the
time required and frequent negative results in paucibacillaryspecimens are the limitations. PCR is widely used for thedetection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in clinical specimens,because the tests are rapid, sensitive, and specific.
Highlights :
• Detects specifically Mycobacterium tuberculosis complexpresent in samples.
• Based on the principles of nested PCR for increased specificityand sensitivity.
• Uses HotStart Taq DNA Polymerase for increased specificity.• Carryover contamination prevention by dUTP-UDG system.• Rapid Spin column based DNA extraction for effective removal
of PCR inhibitors from the sample.• Results obtained in 4 hours.• Convenient aliquots of reagents to reduce the chances of
contamination.• Internal control DNA provided for the identification of
processed specimens containing substances that couldinhibit PCR.

Amplification Reagents Set (for HumanPapilloma Virus)
Cancer of the uterine cervix is the most common malignanttumor in women worldwide. Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) has
been identified as the 'necessary cause' of cervical cancer. It hasbeen shown from several studies that HPV infection is a goodmarker for women with cervical neoplasia and precancerouslesion. Women persistently infected with certain "oncogenic"HPV show a high rate of progression of dysplasia to invasivecancer of the cervix. Therefore, in best traditions of medicalpractice, the clinicians are obligated to seek out the presence ofcausal agents of the disease, the oncogenic types of HPV. Thus,diagnosis of HPV infection may facilitate early identification ofwomen at increased risk of developing cervical cancer.
This set is based on the amplification of E6 and E7 genes ofoncogenic HPVs (HPV-16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 45, 52b and 58) usingconsensus primers. The E6 and E7 genes are preferentiallyconserved even when the viral DNA gets integrated into thehuman chromosome. Thus, the amplification targeting E6 andE7 region is less likely to produce false negative results.
Note : For Research use only. Not for diagnostic applications.
Highlights :
• Detects oncogenic HPV types (E6 & E7) present in samples.• Based on the principle of Touchdown PCR for increased
specificity and sensitivity.• Uses HotStart Taq DNA Polymerase for increased specificity.• Rapid spin Column based DNA extraction for effective removal
of PCR inhibitors from the DNA sample.• Results obtained in 5 hrs.• Convenient aliquots of reagents to reduce the chances of

AMV RT-PCR KitThe amplification of RNA requires the conversion of RNAsubstrate to cDNA. This is achieved using AMV ReverseTranscriptase. The cDNA thus generated acts as the template
for subsequent PCR amplification.Two primers are provided for cDNA synthesis :
1. Random Hexamer that binds at non-specific sites alongthe mRNA template.
2. Oligo (dT)₁₈ primer that binds at the 3'-end of the poly (A)tail of mRNA.
The kit has all components necessary to generate first strandcDNA and subsequent PCR amplification. Enough materialssupplied to perform 20 reactions. We have also included controlRNA and suitable primers for 4 control experiments.
Storage : -20°C
Application :
•
RT-PCR Kit can be effectively used to detect the presenceof RNA viruses.• PCR products generated using this kit can be cloned using
standard protocols.
