Thermo Scientific™ FastDigest NheI is a rapid and high-performance restriction enzyme that recognizes the sequence 5′ G^CTAGC 3′ / 3′ CGATC^G 5′, producing 5′ protruding ends. Optimized for use at 37 °C, it provides complete DNA digestion within 5–15 minutes using the universal FastDigest Buffer system.
As part of the FastDigest™ enzyme portfolio, NheI delivers 100% activity in both FastDigest and FastDigest Green Buffers. This eliminates the need for buffer changes in single, double, or multiple digestions and supports direct downstream processing with DNA modifying enzymes such as T4 DNA Ligase, Klenow Fragment, T4 DNA Polymerase, and alkaline phosphatases.
Key Features
- Rapid digestion – complete cleavage in 5–15 minutes.
- Universal buffer system – all FastDigest enzymes are fully active in the same buffer.
- Convenient direct loading – FastDigest Green Buffer includes tracking dyes and density reagent for gel electrophoresis.
- Reliable performance – optimized formulation prevents star activity.
- Downstream compatibility – modifying enzymes function directly in FastDigest Buffer.
- Part of a broad enzyme collection – one of 176 enzymes available in the FastDigest line.
Applications
- Molecular cloning.
- Restriction site mapping.
- Genotyping and SNP analysis.
- Southern blotting.
- Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP).
