RNASE SUBSTRATE
Product description
RNase-substrate
The oligonucleotide 6-Fam-dArUdAdA-BHQ1 and the analogue 6-Fam-dArUdAdA-BMN-Q530 are used as a substrate for a convenient proof of RNases. In the inactivated state the quencher causes full extinction of the fluorescence of fluorescein. After digestion by the RNase, however, quencher and fluorophore are separated from each other and thus, the fluorescence of the 6-Fam reporter can be detected at 520 nm.
Increase of fluorescence induced by digestion of 6-Fam-dArUdAdA-BHQ1 (200 pM RNase A, 100 nM RNase substrats, 100 mM MES buffer, pH = 6.0, 100 mM NaCl), detection at 515 nm, excitation at 490 nm |
