T7 RNA Polymerase
Applications:
- Synthesis of RNA Transcripts
Description:
T7 RNA Polymerase is a DNA-dependent RNA polymerase that exhibits a high specificity for bacteriophage T7 promoter sequences. The enzyme can incorporate labeled or unlabeled nucleotide triphosphates into an RNA transcript. Large quantities of RNA can be synthesized from a DNA sequence cloned downstream from a T7 promoter. T7 RNA Polymerase is supplied in 20 mM potassium phosphate (pH 7.9), 100 mM NaCl, 1 mM DTT, 0.1 mM EDTA and 50% glycerol.
Source:
Recombinant E. coli
Concentration:
10–50 U/μL
Buffer:
Supplied with 10X Reaction Buffer [400 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 80 mM MgCl2 and 20 mM spermidine], and 50 mM DTT.
Storage:
–20°C
