Description
E.coli uracil-DNA glycosylase (UDG) catalyzes the release of free uracil from uracil-containing DNA. UDG efficiently hydrolyzes uracil from single-stranded or double-stranded DNA, but not from oligomers (6 or fewer bases)
Applications:
– site-directed mutagenesis;
– as a probe for protein-DNA interaction studies;
Treatment of 1 μg of uracil-containing DNA with 1 unit of UDG for 10 minutes at 37°C renders the DNA incapable of being copied by DNA polymerase. The enzyme can be 95% heat killed by incubation at 95°C for 10 minutes.
