If anyone knows of a company that >sells one of these, would you please let me know? If I look up in PC/Gene using the REDIT program (the restriction enzyme editor) I find the following info: > >RESTRICTION ENZYME DATA EDITOR. > >Enzyme name >Recognition site >Cut offset: 1__ bases. > >Isoschizomers. > >Availability. > > The (old) Amersham catalogue I have (1989) claims that Amersham is the only distributor of Spl I. But PC/Gene doesn't seem to know that Spl I has any isoschizomers ... But the REDIT program of PC/Gene is a bit out of date ... Maybe the next update ;-) disclaimer: I am in no way, shape or form an employee or a sales rep for IntelliGenetics or Amersham.
