New England Biolabs, Inc. EnGen Spy Cas9 Nickase – 70 pmol

Supplier:  New England Biolabs, Inc. M0650S

EnGen Spy Cas9 Nickase is a variant of Cas9 nuclease differing by a point mutation (D10A) in the RuvC nuclease domain, which enables it to nick, but not cleave, DNA). EnGen Spy Cas9 Nickase, like EnGen Cas9 NLS , targets DNA using a guide RNA complementary to a site with a 3' NGG protospacer adjacent motif (PAM). Nicking occurs on the DNA strand opposite the PAM. Double-stranded DNA breaks can be generated with reduced off-target cleavage by targeting two sites in close proximity (generally 0-20 bp apart) and with PAMs facing outward to leave 5' overhangs. Nicking by EnGen Spy Cas9 Nickase occurs on the DNA strand opposite the target sequence. EnGen Spy Cas9 Nickase contains SV40 T antigen nuclear localization (NLS) sequences on the N and C- termini.
