Benzonase® nuclease degrades all forms of DNA and RNA while having no proteolytic activity. Benzonase® is compatible with BugBuster® and PopCulture® protein extraction reagents and therefore can be added to these reagents to eliminate viscosity and remove nucleic acids from E. coli extracts.
Degrades all forms of DNA and RNA
Effective over a wide range of conditions
Exceptionally high specific activity
Ideal for removal of nucleic acids from recombinant proteins
Reduces viscosity, processing time and improves protein yields from cell extracts
