Lyophilized powder (Bovine Pancrease); activity >60 U/mg. One unit inhibits 50% of activity of 5 ng of RNase A.
Ribonuclease A (RNase A) is an endoribonuclease that efficiently hydrolyzes RNA. RNase A is used for a variety of molecular biology applications, most commonly for the hydrolysis of RNA that contaminates DNA preparations. This enzyme is used during plasmid purification without nicking or degrading plasmid DNA.
