Product Information

Description

The 5´ DNA adenylation Kit is a simple and efficient enzymatic method for generating 5´-adenylated DNA. The kit is optimized to produce the adenylated DNA with or without 3´-terminator. The 5´ DNA adenylation kit routinely generates greater than 95% conversion of pDNA to AppDNA(1). This highly efficient process eliminates the need for gel isolation of the product and increases overall yield.

Properties & Usage

Features

  • One step reaction gives quantitative adenylation
  • Simpler than existing chemical and enzymatic methods
  • Reduces need for extensive purification of reaction product
  • 65°C reaction temperature reduces secondary structural concerns
  • Easily scalable from pmol to μmol range

Application Features

Enzymatic 5´-adenylation of single-stranded DNA linkers for next generation sequencing.

Product Notes

  1. For substrates with unprotected 3´ termini increase concentration of ATP to 0.5 mM to prevent circularization and concatemerization.
  2. The low turnover of the enzyme requires an approximately equimolar concentration of the enzyme and the oligonucleotide substrate.
  3. Adenylated DNA linkers can be used for 3´ end ligation of RNA in cDNA library preparation for Next Generation sequencing protocols [3,4].
