A potent, cost-effective RNase inhibitor
Abstract:
The performance characteristics of a potent new RNase inhibitor have been evaluated, as have applications for its use in molecular biology. PRIME Inhibitor is a protein, not related to the commonly available human placental RNase inhibitors (HPRI). It has a high specific activity, enhanced temperature stability, broad reaction pH range and significantly greater cost-effectiveness than commercial HPRI. PRIME Inhibitor is suitable for use in in vitro transcription, in vitro translation, first- and second-strand cDNA synthesis, preparation of RNA and mRNA, and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction.

RNA Interference
This process occurs naturally in cells, often through the activity of genomically-encoded microRNAs. Researchers can take advantage of this mechanism by introducing synthetic RNAs to deactivate specific genes for research or therapeutic purposes. For example, RNAi could be used...
