SCS110 Competent Cells
Most E. coli hosts contain both DNA adenine methylation (dam) and DNA cytosine methylation (dcm) genes. These genes code for proteins that methylate specific sequences when DNA is propagated, making subsequent digestion with methylation-sensitive restriction enzymes impossible. Agilent offers the SCS110 and JM110 strains, which lack both dam and dcm activity.

Agilent offers the SCS110 and JM110 strains, which lack both dam and dcm activity. DNA propagated in these strains can be digested by methylation-sensitive enzymes such as Xba I, Cla I and EcoR II. SCS110 is an endA– derivative of the JM110 strain.
