Description
catalog no
T7 RNA Polymerase is a DNA-dependent RNA polymerase that exhibits extremely high specificity for its cognate promoter sequences. Only T7 DNA or DNA cloned downstream from a T7 promoter can serve as a template for T7 RNA Polymerase-directed RNA synthesis. T7 RNA Polymerase is provided with 100mM DTT and Transcription Optimized 5X Buffer: 200mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.9 at 25°C), 30mM MgCl2, 10mM spermidine, 50mM NaCl. Cat.# P4074 provides T7 RNA Polymerase at a high concentration (80u/µl).
Applications
- Generation of templates for in vitro translation.
- Generation of probes for nucleic acid hybridizations.
- Generation of RNA processing substrates.
- Generation of antisense RNA.
