T4 Polynucleotide Kinase catalyzes the transfer of the γ-phosphate from ATP to the 5´-hydroxyl terminus of double and single-stranded RNA and DNA, oligonucleotides or nucleoside 3´-monophosphates. The enzyme is also capable of catalyzing the removal of 3´-phosphoryl groups from 3´-phosphoryl polynucleotides, deoxynucleoside 3´-monophosphates and deoxynucleoside 3´-diphosphates.
Description
Labelling 5’-termini of DNA or RNA to be used as: ; o primers for DNA sequencing ; o primers for PCR ; o probes for hybridization ; o probes for transcript mapping ; o markers for gel electrophoresis ; Addition of 5'-phosphates to oligonucleotides, PCR products, and DNA or RNA prior to ligation ; Removal of 3´-phosphoryl groups
Notes
One unit is defined as the amount of T4 Polynucleotide Kinase that catalyzes the incorporation of 1 nmol γ-phosphate from ATP to the 5’-hydroxyl termini of micrococcal nuclease-treated DNA in 30 minutes at 37°C in 1X T4 Polynucleotide Kinase Reaction Buffer.
