Features and Benefits
Our highly stable Ribonuclease A, RNase A, is suitable for removal of RNA, RNA sequencing, and DNA purification.
General description
RNase A is an endoribonuclease that attacks at the 3′OHphosphate of a pyrimidine nucleotide. The sequence of pG-pG-pC-pA-pG will be cleaved to give pG-pG-pCp and A-pG. The highest activity is exhibited with single stranded RNA.
RNase A, Ribonuclease A, is an endoribonuclease that cleaves the phosphodiester bonds of single strand RNA after pyrimidine nucleotides. It attacks at the 3′ phosphate end (For example pG-pG-pC-pA-pG will be cleaved to give pG-pG-pCp and A-pG). The highest activity is exhibited with single stranded RNA. RNase A is a single chain polypeptide containing 4 disulfide bridges. In contrast to RNase B, it is not a glycoprotein. Ribonucleases do not hydrolyze DNA, because the DNA lacks 2′-OH groups essential for the formation of cyclic intermediates. RNase A can also hydrolyze RNA from protein samples. RNase A can be inhibited by alkylation of His12 and His119 and activated by potassium and sodium salts. RNAse is inhibited in the presence of heavy metal ions. RNase is also inhibited competitively by DNA.
Other Notes
A major application for RNase A is the removal of RNA from preparations of plasmid DNA. For this application, DNase free RNase A is used at a final concentration of 10 ug/mL.
Boiling stock solutions of this RNase A product to inactivate residual DNase is not necessary and may cause precipitation of RNase and possible loss of enzymatic activity. If an RNase A solution is heated at a neutral pH, precipitation will occur. When heated at a lower pH, some precipitation may occur because of protein impurities that are present.

Activators of RNase A include potassium and sodium salts. RNase A can be inhibited by alkylation of His12 or His119.
RNase A is supplied as a solution of 50% glycerol containing 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0).

In nucleotide excision repair, bulky DNA lesions such as UV-induced cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers are removed from the genome by concerted dual incisions bracketing the lesion, followed by gap filling and ligation. So far, two dual-incision patterns have been discovered: the

Why is RNase A activity not listed as micromoles per minute, and what is a Kunitz unit?
1 answer-
The Kunitz unit was created to reflect the non-linear nature of the RNAse enzymatic reaction. As the reaction progresses the activity changes due to RNA as a heterogeneous polymeric substrate; therefore, the unit of moles or micomoles per minute becomes inaccurate. As such, our enzymatic assay describes a unit that varies throughout the reaction: One unit will cause a decrease of 100% per minute in the value of E0 - Ef at pH 5.0 at 25°C. Ef is determined in the RNAse control step, while E0 reflects the current reaction rate.
