| Source | Bacillus stearothermophilus C8 |
| Assayed on | Lambda DNA |
| Unit definition | One unit of the enzyme is the amount required to hydrolyze 1 μg of Lambda DNA in 1 hour at 55°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.) |
| Enzyme activity (%) | | B | G | O | W | Y | R | | 10 - 25 | 25 - 50 | 50 - 75 | 75 - 100 | 100 | 100 |
|
| Optimal temperature | 55oC |
