Application

Polyuridylic acid (Poly(U)), a homopolymer of uridine, is used as a single-stranded RNA model compound often in comparison with other ssRNA model oligonucleotides such as Poly(I) and Poly(C) to study processes that are dependent upon ssRNA regulation such as Toll-like receptor regulation. Poly(U) is used as an effective agonist for TLR7.

Preparation Note

Prepared from UDP using polynucleotide phosphorylase.

In the nucleus, genomic DNA is wrapped around histone octamers to form nucleosomes. In principle, nucleosomes are substantial barriers to transcriptional activities. Nuclear non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are proposed to function in chromatin conformation modulation and transcriptional regulation. However, it remains

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  
  1. What is the range of polymer lengths in this product?

    1 answer
    1. A quality control test for the range of polymer length is not conducted for this product. Historical data measured the molecular weight by low angle laser light scattering (LALLS), noting an average molecular weight that varied greatly from lot to lot, with values as low as 100 kDa and as high as greater than 600 kDa. Additionally, historical data indicated a range of 600-3000 base pairs by migration on acrylamide gel.
