DNA modifying enzymes are used to manipulate DNA molecules and have a wide range of applications in biotechnology, including gene editing, cloning and PCR amplification. One of the most common methods of measuring the activity of these enzymes is by radioactive assay. Radioactivity assays are based on the incorporation of radioactive nucleotides into DNA during the enzyme reaction. the amount of radioactivity incorporated is proportional to the activity of the enzyme, which can be quantified by measuring radioactivity using scintillation counting. creative Enzymes offers a full range of high quality DNA modifying enzymes and radioactivity assays to meet the needs of researchers in a variety of fields.
Radioactive assays measure the activity of DNA modifying enzymes by monitoring the binding of radioactive nucleotides in DNA. Typically, radiolabeled dNTPs (deoxynucleoside triphosphates) are used in the assay, and they are available in alpha-, beta-, or gamma-emitting isotopes. The enzymatic reaction is carried out in the presence of radionucleotides and the reaction products are separated by gel electrophoresis. The radiolabeled DNA bands are then observed by autoradiography or fluorescence imaging, and the amount of radioactivity bound to the DNA is measured by scintillation counting.
Creative Enzymes offers a comprehensive range of radioactive assays to analyze DNA modifying enzyme activity. Our services include:
We require a minimum of 1 µg of DNA substrate per radioactive assay. DNA substrates can be linear or circular, and either plasmid or genomic DNA can be used. We also require detailed information about the enzyme being assayed, including enzyme source, concentration and reaction conditions.
Cloning: DNA modifying enzymes are used in cloning to cut and paste DNA molecules to create recombinant DNA molecules.
PCR amplification: DNA polymerases are used in PCR amplification to amplify specific DNA sequences.
DNA sequencing: DNA modifying enzymes are used in DNA sequencing to produce high quality sequence data.
