Thermo Scientific DNA/RNA modifying enzymes are supplied with optimized reaction buffers.
However, it is often convenient to use these enzymes in other buffers for experiments that involve multiple enzymatic reactions. The table below lists activities of DNA/RNA modifying enzymes in common reaction buffers, supplied with Thermo Scientific Molecular Biology enzymes and used in common applications.
