title: Activity of DNA modification and restriction enzymes in KGB, a potassium glutamate buffer.
abstract: A single buffer consisting primarily of potassium and glutamate is shown to be suitable for activity of almost all restriction endonucleases, DNA methylases, and many other DNA-modifying enzymes. The composition of this buffer differs substantially from buffers currently in use for these enzymes.
