| Application: | • Decreases viscosity providing better yields by removing DNA in primary cell isolation: • Incorporating labelled bases into DNA: DNA nick • Radioactive labelling • Bioprocessing applications: DNA removal • Eliminating genomic DNA from RNA preparations before RT-PCR • In vitro transcription • Nick translation • DNase footprinting • Actin regulation of actin polymerization in cells, and cell apoptosis • UV crosslinking of proteins to nucleic acids • DNase play a role in the regulation of actin polymerization in cells and is involved in apoptosis process [1] ![]() |
| Application: | Used for the removal of DNA from protein samples. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | DNase I is an endonuclease that acts on phosphodiester bonds adjacent to pyrimidines to produce polynucleotides with terminal 5′-phosphates. In the presence of Mg2+, DNAse I cleaves each strand of DNA independently and the cleavage sites are random. Both DNA strands are cleaved at approximately the same site in the presence of Mn2+. Divalent cations such as Mn2+, Ca2+, Co2+, and Zn2+ are activators of the enzyme. A concentration of 5 mM Ca2+ stabilizes the enzyme against proteolytic digestion. The pH optimum is found to be between 7 and 8. DNAse I from bovine pancreas consists of four chromatographically distinguishable components, A, B, C, and D, with their molar ratios being 4:1:1 respectively. Only minor amounts of D are found. 2-Mercaptoethanol, chelators, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and actin are known to inhibit the enzyme activity. |
| Features and Benefits: | Our Deoxyribonuclease DNAse I,is essentially RNAse free product, which support the product application. |
| General description: | DNase I, or Deoxyribonuclease I, is an endonuclease isolated from bovine pancreas. • Our DNase I Digests double str and single stranded DNA into oligo and mononucleotides. • Bovine pancreatic DNase exists as four isozymes, having isoelectric points for A, B, C and D: 5.22, 4.96, 5.06 and 4.78.3. The predominant form is A, with smaller amounts of B and C, and only minor amount of D. • DNase I structure resembles the structure of to exonuclease III. It includes two central ß sheets. Each β sheet is composed of six β-strands. This complex of β sheets is surrounded by extensive loop and α-helical regions. This enzyme shares structural similarity to exonuclease III.[1] ![]() |
| Other Notes: | One Kunitz unit will produce a change in A260 of 0.001 per min per mL at pH 5.0 at 25 °C, using DNA, Type I or III, as substrate. |
| Packaging: | 1, 5 g in poly bottle |
| Packaging: | 10, 100 mg in poly bottle |
| Physical form: | Crude preparation, contains calcium chloride |
| Preparation Note: | 10 mg/mL solution of DNAse I in 0.15 M NaCl may lose <10% of its activity when stored for a week in aliquots at −20 °C. The same solutions stored in aliquots at 2-8 °C can lose approximately 20% activity. It remains active for up to five hours at 60 °C between pH 5 and 7, and loses activity in <10 minutes at 68 °C. It loses activity at the rate of 6%/hour in acetate buffer (pH 5.0) and tris buffer ((pH 7.2) at 1 mg/mL concentration. |
