BioVision's TurboNuclease is a recombinant form of Serratia macescens extracellular endonuclease (encoded by the same gene of Benzonase) produced in E. coli using a proprietary process. This nonspecific endonuclease hydrolyzes both single- and double-stranded nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) to 5'-phosphorylated oligonucleotides of 1-4 bases in length. TurboNuclease is a highly purified homodimer of 27 kDa subunits that has exceptional high specific activity and is free of protease activity. It is ideal to digest nucleic acids and to reduce viscosity during protein purification and sample preparation. MW: 27.0 kDa.
