Product information "DNase I (EC 3.1.21.1)"
DNase I is an endonuclease isolated from bovine pancreas that digests double- and single-stranded DNA into oligo- and mono-nucleotides.
Description
DNAse I is used, among other things, to avoid unwanted cell clumping during tissue disaggregation, which makes dispersion of individual cells difficult. Since tissue disaggregation and subsequent isolation of single cells is always accompanied by rupture and lysis of some cells, DNA is released from these cells into the surrounding medium. The released DNA in the medium is thought to be responsible for undesirable cell clumping during tissue dissociation procedures. This clumping effect can be avoided by adding deoxyribonuclease (DNase) to the dissociation medium and has been described for a variety of different cell and tissue types.
DNase I is suitable for eliminating DNA from RNA preparations prior to sensitive applications, such as RT-PCR. Since no RNA purification procedure removes 100% of the DNA, RNA samples should be digested with DNase I before RT-PCR. A simple 15 minute digestion at room temperature removes the contaminating DNA. DNase I is inactivated by adding the stop solution and heating. Heating also denatures the RNA, so the RNA can be used directly for reverse transcription.
This DNAse I is not RNase-free and has to be chemically treated if used for RNA isolation procedures.

Proteinase K can be inhibited by a variety of substances. These include ‘denaturing substances’, detergents and proteinase inhibitors. Sensitivity to inhibitors depends pretty much on the specific application (exact pH, concentration, temperature). Inhibitors frequently used in biochemistry and molecular biology are:SDS: High concentrations of SDS can denature and inactivate proteinase K.EDTA: EDTA is a chelating agent that can bind to metal ions that are essential for proteinase K activity.Urea: High concentrations of urea can denature and thereby inactivate proteinase K.Detergents: Some detergents, such as Triton X-100 or Tween® 20, can inhibit proteinase K, especially when the detergents are present in high concentrations.Protease inhibitors: Protease inhibitors, such as phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF), can irreversibly inhibit proteinase K.Chaotropic salts: Depending on the DNA extraction protocol, the presence of chaotropic salts or detergents may increase proteinase K activity. However, the same reagents may also inhibit proteinase K activity.Proteinase K can be obtained from Genaxxon as Powder (M3036) > or as 20mg/mL Solution (M3037) >.Produced by Genaxxon bioscience GmbH, founded in 2002 by Dr. Norbert Tröndle to provide reliable products for PCR and custom cell culture media formulations, the Proteinase K Solution 20 mg/mL offers a dependable and efficient solution for your molecular biology needs.
