| Assayed on | Lambda DNA (dam-) |
| Unit | One unit of the enzyme is the amount required to hydrolyze 1 μg of Lambda DNA (dam-) in 1 hour at 37°C in a total reaction volume of 50 μl. |
| Optimal SE-buffer | Y (33 mM Tris-acetate (pH 7.9 at 25°C); 10 mM magnesium acetate; 66 mM potassium acetate; 1 mM DTT.) + BSA |
| Enzyme activity (%) | | B | G | O | W | Y | R | | 75 - 100 | 50 - 75 | 0 - 10 | 0 - 10 | 100 | 30 |

| Optimal temperature | 37oC |
| Storage conditions | 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5); 100 mM KCl; 0.1 mM EDTA; 7 mM 2-mercaptoethanol; 200 μg/ml BSA; 50% glycerol; Store at -20°C. |
| Ligations | After 2-fold overdigestion with enzyme about 50% of the DNA fragments can be ligated with more than 500 u.a. of DNA ligase. |
| Non-specific hydrolisis | No nonspecific activity was detected after incubation of 1 μg of Lambda DNA with 6 u.a. of enzyme for 16 hours at 37°C.
