T7 RNA Polymerase with buffer H
Bacteriophage T7 RNA Polymerase is a DNA-dependent RNA polymerase with high specificity for the T7 promoter. This enzyme catalyzes the 5’→3’ synthesis of RNA from DNA downstream from its promoter.
Source:
Escherichia coli
Purity:
>98% as determined by SDS-PAGE. Purified by Ni-NTA chromatography.
Unit Definition:
One unit is defined as the amount of the enzyme incorporates 1 nmol of ATP into acid-insoluble product in 1 hour at 37°C.
Reaction Condition:
1X RNA Polymerase Reaction Buffer, supplemented with 3 mM each ATP, UTP, GTP, CTP, and DNA template containing the T7 RNA
Polymerase promoter. Incubate at 37°C.
Storage Buffer:
T7 RNA Polymerase is supplied in 100 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.9), 20 mM KCl, 1 mM DTT, 1 mM EDTA, 0.1% Triton® X-100 and 50% (v/v)
glycerol.
Storage:
Store at -20°C for up to 6 months, and it is recommended to store at -80°C for long-term preservation. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
Handling Instruction:
For optimal storage, aliquot the enzyme, reaction buffer and DTT reagent into smaller quantities and store at recommended temperature.
Avoid extended exposure to ice; instead, promptly retrieve the required portion and return it to the appropriate storage temperature.
Notes:
1. Transcription reaction should be performed under RNase free condition. Use nuclease-free tubes, reagents, and water to avoid
RNase contamination. Also, wear gloves when working with RNA.
2. The volume of T7 RNA Polymerase can be titrated between 1-2 μL in the IVT reaction to optimize your assay.
Shipping Conditions:
Dry ice
