This UNG protein is produced in Escherichia coli (E. coli).

Quick Overview for UNG Protein (ABIN1068292)

Target: UNG (Uracil-DNA Glycosylase (UNG))

Biological Activity: Active

Origin: E. coli

Source: Escherichia coli (E. coli)

Product Details

Characteristics: 10x UNG Reaction Buffer: 200mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0 at 25°C), 10mM DTT and 10mM EDTA.

Sterility: Sterile filtered

Unit Definition: 1 Unit of the enzyme catalyzes the release of 1 nanomole of uracil-containing DNA template in 60 min at 37°C.

Application Details

Comment:

Specific Activity: The Specific Activity was found to be 5U/μl.
Reaction Conditions: 1X UNG Reaction Buffer, incubate at 37°C.UNG is active over a broad pH rabge with an optimum at pH-8.0, doesn't require divalent cation, and is inhibited by high ionic strength (>200mM). The abasic sites formed in DNA by UNG may be cleaved by heat, alkali-treatment or endonucleases that cleave specifically at abasic sites.
Inhibition and Inactivation: Inactivated by heating at 95°C for 10min. Enzye activity is partially restored at temperatures lower than 55°C.

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Handling

Buffer: UNG solution(5U/ul)in 10mM Tris-Hcl (pH-7.4 at 25°C), 50mM KCl, 1mM DTT, 0.1mM EDTA, 0.1 mg/ml BSA and 50% glycerol.

Storage Comment: Uracil DNA Glycosilase although stable at 15°C for 1 week, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.

Target Details

Target: UNG (Uracil-DNA Glycosylase (UNG))

Alternative Name: Uracil DNA Glycosylase

Target Type: Viral Protein

Background: E.Coli Uracil DNA Glycosilase (UNG) catalyses the release of free Uracil from Uracil-containing DNA. UNG efficiently hydrolyzes uracil from signle-stranded or double-stranded DNA, but not from oligomers (6 fewer bases).
