SapI  (5475)
1 site
G C T C T T C N C G A G A A G N N N N

SapI gradually settles in solution, so a tube of SapI should be mixed before removing an aliquot.
PciI  (5358)
1 site
A C A T G T T G T A C A

PciI is inhibited by nonionic detergents.
PspFI  (5058)
1 site

After cleavage, BseYI can remain bound to DNA and alter its electrophoretic mobility.
AlwNI  (4949)
1 site
C A G N N N C T G G T C N N N G A C

Sticky ends from different AlwNI sites may not be compatible.
BmrI  (4430)

Unlike most restriction enzymes, BmrI can cleave DNA in the absence of magnesium.
BpmI  (4401)
1 site
C T G G A G ( N ) 14 N N G A C C T C ( N ) 14

Efficient cleavage requires at least two copies of the BpmI recognition sequence.
Sticky ends from different BpmI sites may not be compatible.
After cleavage, BpmI can remain bound to DNA and alter its electrophoretic mobility.
BpmI quickly loses activity at 37°C.

Bpu10I  (562)
1 site
C C T N A G C G G A N T C G

Cleavage may be enhanced when more than one copy of the Bpu10I recognition sequence is present.
This recognition sequence is asymmetric, so ligating sticky ends generated by Bpu10I will not always regenerate a Bpu10I site.
