Push the Limits of Golden Gate Assembly
20+ fragment DNA assembly achievable with high efficiency and accuracy!

GoldenGate_LP_Banner

With constant advances both in the development of new enzymes (e.g., BsaI-HFv2) and research on maximizing enzyme functionality (e.g., ligase fidelity), NEB has become the industry leader in pushing the limits of Golden Gate Assembly (and related methods such as MoClo, GoldenBraid, Mobius Assembly and Loop Assembly). NEB has all the products and information you need to perform complex assemblies, as demonstrated with 20+ fragment assemblies exhibiting high efficiencies and >90% accuracy, along with low backgrounds.

Advances in ligase fidelity

Research at NEB has led to an increased understanding of ligase fidelity, including the development of a comprehensive method for profiling end-joining ligation fidelity in order to predict which overhangs have improved fidelity (1). Their research has enabled complex fragment assemblies with high efficiencies and >90% accuracy.  Use Ligase Fidelity Viewer to visualize overhang ligation preferences for T4 DNA ligase under various experimental conditions.

Type IIS restriction enzymes for Golden Gate Assembly (BsaI-HFv2 and Esp3I)

NEB offers more Type IIS (i.e., recognize asymmetric DNA sequences and cleave outside of their recognition sequence) restriction enzymes than any other supplier, many of which are used in Golden Gate Assembly. NEB is pleased to introduce two new restriction enzymes for use in Golden Gate: Esp3I, an isoschizomer of BsmBI that is recommended for use at 37°C and is supplied with CutSmart® Buffer, and the improved BsaI-HFv2, which is optimized for Golden Gate Assembly.

For information about other Type IIS restriction enzymes used in Golden Gate Assembly, such as BbsI, BbsI-HF and SapI, view our Type IIS restriction enzyme table.

For a limited time, try a sample of BsaI-HFv2 and see how it works for you!

    Restriction Enzymes in Golden Gate Assembly

    Type IIS restriction enzymes have both recognition and binding sites, but cut downstream of the recognition site, creating 4-base overhangs ideal for re-assembly. View a list of TypeIIS enzymes.
