Application

Various concentrations of Deoxyribonucleic acid, low molecular weight, from salmon sperm has been used:
  • to study DNA binding to silicon-substituted hydroxyapatite nanocrystals.[1]
  • in simple electrochemical DNA biosensors to detect and evaluate DNA damage caused by UV-C radiation and reactive oxygen species.[2]
  • as a precursor in the synthesis of the bio-dots.[3]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Salmon sperm DNA is often used as a blocking agent invarious research applications. It isknown to improve the specificity and sensitivity of the multi-AP assay byreducing non-specific binding and background signal.

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  
  1. For the product 31149-50G-F (31149-50G-F), what is the molecular weight, or, the amount of base pairs? Thank you!

    1 answer
    1. The molecular weight of this product is not determined. This material is produced by mechanical disruption, no chemical or enzymatic treatment has been applied. The estimated molecular weight range of this DNA is 50,000 – 100,000 Da and is primarily double stranded. Note that whole DNA from salmon sperm has a molecular weight of 1.98x10e11 Da. While the number of base pairs(bp) has not been investigated, based on a approximate molecular weight of 650 Da per bp, the estimated chain length range is 77 – 154 bp.
