Description: |
M-MuLV Reverse Transcriptase is a modified and optimized Moloney Murine Leukemia Virus (M-MuLV) Reverse Transcriptase. It is a DNA polymerase that uses RNA or DNA as template to synthesize complementary DNA strands in the presence of primers. It also has Ribonuclease H (RNase H) activity, which can specifically degrade the RNA in RNA-DNA hybrids, but not single-stranded RNA or double-stranded RNA. |
Origin: |
E. coli. |
Activity: |
One unit of the enzyme incorporates 1 nmol of dTMP into a polynucleotide fraction in 10 min at 37℃. Enzyme activity is assayed in 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.3), 6 mM MgCl2, 10 mM DTT, 40 mM KCl, 0.5 mM dTTP, 0.4 MBq/ml [3H]-dTTP, 0.4 mM polyA•oligo(dT)12-18 |
