Source:
Mung bean sprouts

Applications:
  • Removal of 3“ and 5“ extensions from DNA or RNA termini
  • Transcriptional mapping
  • Cleavage of hairpin loops
  • Excision of gene coding sequences from genomic DNA
  • Generation of new restriction sites
Reagents Supplied:
Mung Bean Nuclease Reaction Buffer (10X)

Reaction & Storage Conditions


Reaction Conditions:
1X Mung Bean Nuclease Reaction Buffer
Incubate at 30°C.

1X Mung Bean Nuclease Reaction Buffer:
50 mM sodium acetate
30 mM NaCl
1 mM ZnSO4
pH 5.0 @ 25°C

Unit Definition:
One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme required to produce 1 µg of acid-soluble total nucleotide in a total reaction volume of 50 μl in 1 minute at 37°C in 1X Mung Bean Nuclease Reaction Buffer with 0.5 mg/ml denatured Calf Thymus DNA.

Concentration:
10,000 units/ml

Storage Conditions:
10 mM sodium acetate
0.1 mM zinc acetate
1 mM Cysteine
50% Glycerol
0.001% Triton X-100
pH 5.0 @ 25°C

Storage Temperature:
-20°C


Notes


Usage notes:
  1. It is no longer necessary to supplement Mung Bean Nuclease reactions with Zn2+. The zinc acetate in the storage buffer fulfills the Zn2+ requirement of the enzyme even after dilution in a reaction.

FAQs


  1. Should I use Mung Bean Nuclease or DNA Polymerase I, Large (Klenow) Fragment (NEB# M0210)?
  2. Is the Mung Bean Nuclease active in other NEBuffers?
  3. Can Mung Bean Nuclease be heat inactivated?
  4. Does Zn2+ need to be added to a Mung Bean Nuclease reaction?
  5. Will Mung Bean Nuclease degrade double stranded DNA?

Quality Control for Current Lot


Quality control values for a specific lot can be found on the datacard which accompanies each product.

Quality Assurance Statement:
Purified free of double-strand exonuclease contamination.

Terminal Integrity:
After incubation of 1 μg of lambda DNA (Hae III digest) with 10 units of Mung Bean Nuclease at 30ºC for 30 hour(s), > 95% of the DNA fragments can be ligated with T4 DNA ligase. Of these ligated fragments, >95% can be recut with Hae III.
