    What are exonucleases and their applications?
DNase I, (RNase-free) is an endonuclease that nonspecifically cleaves DNA to release di-, tri- and oligonucleotide products with 5´-phosphorylated and 3´-hydroxylated ends (1,2). DNase I acts on single- and double-stranded DNA, chromatin and RNA:DNA hybrids.

Notes
  • EDTA should be added to a final concentration of 5 mM to protect RNA from being degraded during enzyme inactivation (3).
  • We do not recommend using NEB's DNase I as a substitute for Monarch DNase I in the RNA isolation workflow when using the Monarch Total RNA Miniprep Kit (NEB #T2010).  Monarch DNase I is optimized for use in this workflow, and is available for purchase as a component of the Monarch Total RNA Enzyme Pack, (NEB #T2019).
