Properties
Description
DNase I from bovine pancreas is an endonuclease that plays a key role in setting up phosphodiester bonds, preferentially adjacent to pyrimidine nucleotides, yielding polynucleotides with a free hydroxyl group at the 3' position.
Molecular Weight
29.1 kDa
Unit Definition
One unit causes an increase in absorbance at 260 nm of 0.001 per minute per mL at 25°C when acting upon highly polymerized DNA at pH 5.0.
Applications
Deoxyribonuclease I from bovine pancreas is useful for DNA removal in bioprocessing applications.
