Terminator™ 5´-Phosphate-Dependent Exonuclease* is a processive 5´ to ;3´ exonuclease that digests RNA that has a 5´-monophosphate end. It does not digest RNA that has a 5´-triphosphate, 5´-cap or 5´-hydroxyl group. Terminator Exonuclease is not inhibited by proteinaceous RNase inhibitors, such as RiboGuard™ RNase Inhibitor or placental ribonuclease inhibitors.
Applications
- Characterise the 5´ termini of RNA transcripts.
- Enrich for mRNA in prokaryotic or eukaryotic total RNA preparations (Figure. 1).
Note: Terminator™ 5´-Phosphate-Dependent Exonuclease has not been optimised for RNA-Sea applications.
