Abstract
This protocol explains methods for dephosphorylation of 5´-ends of DNA using rSAP in restriction enzyme reaction (M0371).
Materials
MATERIALS
ReagentShrimp Alkaline Phosphatase (rSAP) - 500 unitsNew England BiolabsCatalog #M0371S
Safety warnings
Please refer to the Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for health and environmental hazards.
Digest Amount1 µg Amount5 µg plasmid DNA in a 20 μl reaction as follows:

AB
DNA≥ 1 μl 
Restriction Enzyme Buffer (10X)2 μl
Restriction Endonuclease1 μl
H2O, purifiedto 20 μl**
Note
Scale larger reaction volumes proportionally.

Digestion
Incubate at Temperature37 °C for Duration01:00:00 or follow manufacturer’s recommendations.
Incubation
Add 1 unit of rSAP for every Amount1 pmol of DNA ends (about Amount1 µg of a 3 kb plasmid).
Pipetting
Incubate at Temperature37 °C for 30-60 minutes.
Incubation
Stop reaction by heat-inactivation of rSAP and restriction enzyme (follow manufacturer's recommendations).
Note
If restriction enzyme cannot be heat-inactivated, DNA purification is required before ligation.
