DNase I
Deoxyribonuclease I – degrades DNA to reduce viscosity. · Nuclease · RUO (P60-37780100)
DNase I cleaves single-stranded and double-stranded DNA (including chromatin) at neutral pH (optimum is a pH of 7.8), producing polynucleotides with a 5′-phosphate and a free hydroxyl-group in 3′ position. The activity and specificity (single-strand versus double-strand) of DNase I is determined by the surrounding ions. Maximum activation requires the presence of Mg2+ and Ca2+ ions. Magnesium ions mainly yield in the generation of single-strand nicks, while the presence of Mn2+ ions causes double-strand breaks.
PAN-Biotech quality. DNase I is manufactured by PAN-Biotech / PAN-Celltech and released against a defined quality-control panel.
