● An enzyme that breaks down RNA and can be used when extracting gDNA or plasmid DNA.
● The powder formulation allows you to dilute to intended concentration.
● Provided in PURE™ Plant gDNA Extraction Kit, PURE™ Strong Plant gDNA Extraction Kit, PURE™ Plasmid Miniprep Kit.
Feature
● RNase A is an endoribonuclease that specifically degrades single-stranded RNA at C and
U residues. It cleaves the phosphodiester bond between the 5'-ribose of a nucleotide and
the phosphate group attached to the 3'-ribose of an adjacent pyrimidine nucleotide.
The resulting 2', 3'-cyclic phosphate is hydrolyzed to the corresponding 3'-nucleoside
phosphate.
● Molecular weight : 13.7kDa
● Specific activity : ≥3,000 U/mg
● Appearance : white powder(BR grade)
Unit definition
● One unit of the enzyme causes an increase in absorbance of 1.0 at 260 nm
when yeast RNA is hydrolyzed at 37°C and pH 5.0.
● Fifty units are approximately equivalent to 1 Kunitz unit.
Product notes
● This product is lyophilized. Dissolve with distilled water before use and store at -20℃ to maintain enzyme activity.
● The recommended working concentration is 1 to 100 μg/ml for DNA extraction purposes. The enzyme is inactivated by heating at 95°C for 10 minutes.
