    Product Description

    PureRec Duplex-Specific Nuclease (DSN) is an endonuclease that selectively digests double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) and DNA in DNA-RNA hybrids, exhibiting virtually no activity towards single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) or RNA.

    It can discriminate between perfectly matched and non-matched short DNA duplexes. To catalyze cleavage, DSN needs a minimum of 10 bp dsDNA or 15 bp perfectly matched DNA-RNA duplex.

    This enzymatic function is reliant upon the presence of Mg2+ ions, with a recommended concentration of 5 mM for most applications.

    PureRec DSN is overexpressed and extensively purified from a non-animal source and is free of non-specific nucleases or RNases.

    Application

    • Remove gDNA and DNA in DNA:RNA hybrids for protein or RNA preparations.
    • Reduce abundant rRNA and globin transcripts to enhance next-generation sequencing (NGS) libraries.
    • Achieve precise single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) detection with minimal off-target effects.
    • Enhance signal amplification for accurate virus detection.
    • Improve detection of miRNA and biomarkers.

    • This depends on the application. DSN is a highly versatile enzyme, and the input amount can be adjusted to meet specific requirements. The amount of DSN and incubation times will vary based on the desired product. For example, a typical amount of DSN used for the normalization of cDNA libraries ranges from 0.25 to 1 U.
    • To protect ssDNA in a pool of dsDNA/ssDNA, we recommend titrating the enzyme amount to determine the optimal conditions for ssDNA protection.

    The incubation temperature can be adjusted between 25°C and 70°C, with an optimal temperature of 60°C.

    DSN is susceptible to EDTA inactivation at concentrations of 5 mM and above. We recommend performing an inactivation step by adding 5 mM EDTA at the reaction temperature for 5 minutes following digestion.

    DSN is thermally stable and retains activity when heated to 98°C for 10 minutes. We suggest stopping all reactions with DSN by incubating with 5 mM EDTA for 5 minutes at 60°C.
