Thermostable Endonuclease Q / #M0701S

Thermostable Endonuclease Q (NEB-M0701S) is an advanced archaeal DNA endonuclease designed to cleave the phosphate backbone of DNA substrates at specific modified nucleobases, including deoxyxanthosine (dX), deoxyinosine (dI), deoxyuracil (dU), and abasic sites. This enzyme is particularly suited for applications requiring site-specific cleavage, offering significant improvements over previous solutions by targeting both single-stranded and double-stranded DNA with a preference for single-stranded substrates. 

  • High Performance: Achieve precise cleavage at deaminated nucleobases and abasic sites, leaving a ligatable 3'-OH and a 5'-phosphate, with no other commercially available enzyme offering this specificity. 
  • Temperature Versatility: Functions optimally at 65-85°C, with a performance range from 37-90°C, accommodating various experimental conditions. 
  • Fast Workflow: Efficiently cleaves DNA substrates, enhancing workflow speed and reliability. 
  • Optimized Reaction Conditions: Supplied with 10X NEBuffer r2.1 to ensure optimal enzyme activity and stability during reactions. 
  • Sustainability: Packaged in a format designed to minimize waste, supporting environmentally friendly laboratory practices. 
  • Versatile Applications: Ideal for enzymatic DNA synthesis, site-specific cleavage in oligonucleotide applications, and more, providing flexibility for diverse research needs.

NEBNext Enzymatic 5hmC-seq Kit 

New England Biolabs® EM-seqTM range of products are now expanded by the addition of products for E5hmC-seqTM, which enables specific detection of 5hmC sites. 5hmC is detected using a two-step enzymatic conversion workflow that minimizes damage to DNA and allows discrimination of 5hmC from both cytosine and 5mC after Illumina sequencing. E5hmC-seq data can also be subtracted from EM-seq data, allowing the determination of the precise location of individual 5mC and 5hmC sites.  

The full workflow requires the NEBNext Enzymatic 5hmC-seq Kit (E3350) plus the index primers included in the NEBNext Primers for Epigenetics products (E3392 and E3404) products. 

The NEBNext Enzymatic 5hmC-seq Conversion Module (E3365) is also available for use in applications beyond Illumina sequencing. 
 


 

Glycerol-free Alternatives
