Hybridase™ Thermostable RNase H

Catalogue numberPack size
H39100100U
H39500500U

Epicentre's® patented* Hybridase™ Thermostable RNase H specifically degrades only RNA in an DNA:RNA hybrid, without affecting DNA or unhybridised RNA. In contrast to E. coli RNase H, which is rapidly inactivated at 55°C, Hybridase RNase H is active at high temperatures. It has optimal activity above 65°C and can be used at temperatures up to 95°C. The thermostability of the enzyme permits it to be used at temperatures that give the highest hybridisation stringency for specific DNA:RNA heteroduplexes, maximising sensitivity and selectivity while minimising background due to nonspecific hybridisation.

Unit Definition:

One unit results in the acid-solubilisation of 1nmole of 3H-polyadenylic acid in the presence of an equimolar concentration of polythymidylic acid in 20 minutes at 45°C in 50mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 100mM NaCl, and 10mM MgCl2.

Note: The unit assay is performed at 45°C because this is optimal for the Tm of poly(dT):poly(A). The optimal temperature for many applications may be considerably higher.

Storage Buffer:

50% glycerol containing 50mMTris-HCl, pH 7.5, 0.1M NaCl, 1.0 mM DTT, 0.1mM EDTA, and 0.1% Triton® X-100.

Quality Control:

Hybridase Thermostable RNase H is tested for RNA degradation in an RNA:DNA hybrid and for the absence of detectable DNA exo- or endonuclease, and non-RNase H RNase activities.

Epicentre®'s new AmpliCap-Max™ T7 and AmpliCap-Max™ T3 High Yield Message Maker Kits are specially formulated to produce the highest yield of 5'-capped RNA (m7G[5']ppp[5']G cap analog) from an in vitro transcription reaction in the shortest reaction time.

The new AmpliCap-Max™ T7 and AmpliCap-Max™ T3 High Yield Message Maker Kits feature:

  • Yields up to 60 µg of 5'-capped RNA per reaction.
  • 30 minute reaction time.
  • Up to 80% of the RNA is capped.
  • An optimized AmpliCap-Max™ Cap/NTP PreMix, containing m7G[5']ppp[5']G Cap Analog and NTPs.
  • A separate vial of GTP for efficient production of long, 5'-capped RNA.
