| Assayed on | DNA pMHpaII 1/DriI is a linearized plasmid pMHpaII 1.
pMHpaII 1 carries a gene of DNA-methyltransferase M.HpaII, which methylates sites 5`-CCGG-3` producing 5`-C(5mC)GG-3`/3`-GG(5mC)C-5`, and includes three canonical sites
5`-GC(5mC)GGC-3`/3`-CGG(5mC)CG-5`. |
| Unit definition | One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme required to hydrolyze completely 1 μg of linearized plasmid pMHpaII 1 in 1 hour at 37°C in a total reaction volume of 50 μl.
