Descripción

Application

Poly[d(I-C)] is used as a template for RNA polymerases, and as a DNA model for biophysical investigations.
It is also used as a primer template with Kornberg DNA polymerase for the determination of small amounts of dITP, dGTP, and dCTP. Poly(dI-dC) has been used in electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSA).

Features and Benefits

Quality

Typical analysis:
Absorbance determination A₂₅₀/A₂₆₀, A₂₈₀/A₂₆₀, A₂₉₀/A₂₆₀

Sequence

Chain Length approx. 20,000 bp

In an aqueous solution the DNA itself is a salt (the acid groups of the phosphate back bone have a negative charge and are saturated by positive sodium ions) i.e. there is no additional salt in solution. The structural formula which shows the negative 0-groups in the phosphate backbone is available. The same number of positive sodium ions must be dissociated in solution as counter ions.

As the sodium ions are part of the product and saturate the phosphate groups, the lyophilisate is salt-free.

Unit Definition

1 A₂₆₀ unit corresponds to 50 μg ds DNA.

Unit Conversion: 1 A₂₆₀ unit corresponds to 50 μg ds DNA.

Preparation Note

Activator: Polymines (spermine, spermidine)
Storage conditions (working solution): Solution is stable to at least 12 months if stored at 2 to 8 °C, contact with DNase or bacteria is to avoid.

Other Notes

For life science research only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
