Binuclease

An optimal alternative to Benzonase

from yeast cells with cloned gene encoding genetically engineered Serratia marcescens
endonuclease

According to the protocol from Sigma-Aldrich, one unit of Binuclease will digest sonicated salmon sperm DNA to produce acid-soluble oligonucleotides equivalent to a ΔA260nm of 1.0 in 30 minutes at pH 8.0 at 37°C.

Activity

≥ 20 kU/mg lyophilized powder

≥ 250 U/μL buffered aqueous glycerol solution

Endotoxin (Tachypleus Amebocyte Lysate): None Detected

Binuclease is a genetically engineered endonuclease from Serratia marcescens gene that can digest all forms of DNA and RNA, including single stranded, double stranded, linear, circular and supercoiled DNA and RNA. The enzyme cleaves the phosphodiester bond of nucleic acids, producing 5’ monophosphate terminated oligonucleotides 2-5 bases in length. Binuclease is not a sequence dependent nuclease, capable of cleaving the phosphodiester.

Advantages

Gproan’s Binuclease is produced from eukaryotic yeast cells that avoid the contamination of endotoxin from prokaryotic cells. The specific activity of Gproan’s Binuclease was meatured at ≥ 1000 kU/mg protein, which is much higher than any existing products (as much as 200%). Gproan’s Binuclease is highly stable under harsh industrial conditions and very cost effective, which make it a perfect alternative for Benzonase.

Application:

Binuclease is an ideal tool to remove nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) in biological products or reduce viscosity in cell lysates. Endonuclease is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry to eliminate nucleic acid contamination in vaccine and protein products.
