Description:Uracil-DNA Glycosylase catalyzes the hydrolysis of the N-glycosylic bond between the uracil and sugar, leaving an abasic site in uracil-containing single or double-stranded DNA. The enzyme shows no measurable activity on short oligonucleotides (<6 bases), or RNA substrates.Application:- Control of carry-over contamination in PCR ^{(1)- Glycosylase mediated single nucleotide polymorphism detection (GMPD) (2)- Site-directed mutagenesis (3)- As a probe for protein-DNA interaction studies (4)- SNP genotyping- Cloning of PCR products (5)- Generation of single strand overhangs of PCR products and cDNASource:A recombinant E. coli strain carrying the Uracil DNA Glycosylase gene from E. coli K-12.Specific Activity: 77,000 U/mgSupplied With:10X UDG Reaction BufferIncubate at 37°C10X UDG Reaction Buffer:200mM Tris-HCl10 mM DTT10 mM EDTApH 8.0 @ 25°CSupplied In:10 mM Tris-HCl50 mM NaCl1 mM DTT0.1 mM EDTA50% glycerolpH 7.5 @ 25°CUnit Definition:1 unit is defined as the amount of enzyme that catalyzes the release of 1.8 nmol of Uracil in 30 minutes from double-stranded, tritiated, Uracil containing-DNA at 37°C in 1X UDG Reaction Buffer.Recommended Storage Condition: -20°CReferences:1.
