Description

This product is a recombinant source of T7 RNA polymerase from Escherichia coli. It is a DNA-dependent RNA polymerase that specifically recognizes the T7 promoter and synthesizes RNA chains complementary to the downstream template strand. It uses single-stranded or double-stranded DNA templates containing the T7 promoter sequence and NTPs as substrates.

Note

1. High-quality RNase-free DNA template is essential for transcription results.
2. The template DNA can be obtained by linearized circular plasmid or PCR. The template must contain the T7 initiator sequence upstream and the flat end or coding strand 5 and end protruding downstream.
3. An RNAase inhibitor can be added to the reaction to prevent RNAase contamination. The recommended concentration is 1-2 U/μL.
4. The addition of inorganic pyrophosphatase to the reaction system can significantly increase the rate of transcription products.
