Description

Description: Ribonuclease l (27 kD) is a completely nonspecific ribonuclease that hydrolyzes the phosphodiester bond of all four bases. It degrades any RNA to a mixture of mono-, di-, and trinucleotides and does not degrade DNA, although it does bind to DNA. It has a marked preference for single-stranded RNA over double-stranded RNA, which allows it to work well in RNase Protection Assays. It has a high specific activity which, coupled with its non-specificity, typically results in complete degradation of RNA using ng amounts of protein. Contains no endonuclease or exonuclease activity toward DNA substrates.
