My Experiments 
Invitrogen™ DNase I (Deoxyribonuclease I) is a high-activity endonuclease that digests single- and double-stranded DNA into oligodeoxyribonucleotides with 5′ phosphate termini. It has reduced ribonuclease (RNase) contamination to non-detectable levels, making it suitable for DNA removal from protein preparations, DNA nick translation, and fragment generation for sequencing.
This DNase I is purified from bovine pancreas and has a specific activity of 10,000–25,000 units/mg, ensuring efficient and reliable DNA degradation in molecular biology workflows.
Key Features & Benefits
1. High-Purity & High-Activity DNase I
- Efficiently digests DNA into oligonucleotides with 5′ phosphate ends.
- Reduced RNase contamination ensures minimal RNA degradation.
- Highly active enzyme (10,000–25,000 U/mg) for robust DNA digestion.
2. Versatile DNA Digestion Capabilities
- Cleaves both single- and double-stranded DNA for various applications.
- Generates randomly fragmented DNA, useful for sequencing and nick translation.
- Works in multiple reaction buffers, allowing compatibility with various assays.
3. Optimized for Protein & DNA Preparation
- Removes DNA contamination from protein extracts.
- Suitable for nick translation in DNA labeling experiments.
- Generates random DNA fragments for dideoxy sequencing and DNA footprinting.
