Ribonuclease A is an endo-ribonuclease specifically cleaving single stranded RNA at the 3' side of pyrimidine bases (cytosine and uracil). RNAse A ist used to prepare RNA-free DNA, to digest non-hybridised regions of RNA-DNA hybrids and as a molecular weight marker. The pH optimum for RNAse A is between 7.0-7.5. RNAse A is inhibited by Diethylpyrocarbonate (DEPC) >, guanidinium salt (4M GuaSCN), beta-Mercaptoethanol, heavy metals, vanadyl-ribonucleoside complexes, RNAse-inhibitor from human placenta and by competitive DNA. RNAse A cleaves single- and double-stranded RNA and RNA in RNA:DNA hybrids at low salt conditions (100 mM NaCl). At high salt conditions (>300 mM NaCl), RNAse A cleaves single-stranded RNA only. The enzyme can only be removed by Proteinase K digest and subsequent phenol extraction. Elimination of DNAse activity: Product S5231 (RNAse A (not certified DNAse free)) may contain DNAse activity. As RNAse A is heat stable it is recommended to heat inactivate DNAse activity before use. Procedure: 10mg/mL RNAse A in 0.01 sodium acetate (pH5.2) have to be heated to 100°C for 15 minutes in a water bath. After 15 minutes, the RNAse shall remain in the water bath while the water cools down to room temperature. pH can be adjusted by addition of 0.1 time the volume of 1M Tris-HCl (pH7.4). After aliquotation of the now DNAse free RNAse A solution, each aliquote should be stored a -20°C. NOTE: RNAse A precipitates if concentrated solutions are heated to 100°C at neutral pH! Stock solution: Stock solutions are prepared at concentrations from 1 - 10mg/mL in 10mM Tris/HCl, pH7.5; 15mM NaCl or in 10mM Tris/HCl, pH7.5; 1mM EDTA, pH8.0 (TE buffer).The recommended working concentration is 10µg/mL (removal of RNA from plasmid preparations; 1hr, RT) or 100ng/mL (preparation of 'blunt ends' of double-stranded cDNA). Stability:RNase A aggregates during lyophilizing and storage. It has a high affinity to glas surfaces, which has to be taken into consideration. At neutral pH (e. g. in PBS pH 7.4) and high concentrations (>10mg/mL) the enzyme will precipitate. At +2°C to +8°C (lyophilized) it is stable for several years (dry storage), in solution (-20°C) several years or (+2°C to +8°C) several weeks.

DNase I is an endonuclease isolated from bovine pancreas that digests double- and single-stranded DNA into oligo- and mono-nucleotides. DescriptionDNAse 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.
