Product Description
UltraNuclease is a genetically engineered endonuclease from Serratia marcescens. The enzyme digests all forms of DNA/RNA moleculars into oligonucleotides of about 5 bp. The product is expressed in Escherichia coli (E. coli) and purified under the GMP environments. The nuclease is equivlent to benzonase in reducing host nucleic acid residues to pg-grade, improving the performance and safety of biological products of applications including virus purification, vaccine manufacturing, and protein/polysaccharide pharmaceutical manufacturing. It can also used in protein study to reduce the viscosity of cell supernatant and cell lysate, increase protein purification efficiency and enhance protein functional research. UltraNuclease is provided in the form of a sterilized reagent, eluted in buffer (20 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 2 mM MgCl2, 20 mM NaCl, 50% glycerin), with the appearance of a colorless, transparent liquid. This product is produced by GMP process requirements and provided in a liquid form.

Figure 1. Effects of temperature and pH on enzyme activity. (A) Enzyme activity increases with temperature, with the optimum at 37 °C. (B) The enzyme is active within pH 4–10, with pH 8.0 as the optimum. Salt ion concentration 2 . Effects of salt ion concentration on enzyme activity. (A). Na⁺/K⁺ inhibit enzyme activity; activity is completely lost above 300 mM, while good activity is retained below 20 mM. (B). Maximum activity is observed with 5 mM Mg²⁺; in the absence of Mg²⁺, 1–2 mM Mn²⁺ can support activity. (C). Increasing PO₄³⁻ concentration significantly inhibits enzyme activity. Surfactants
Figure 3. Effects of surfactants on enzyme activity. (A) Triton® X-100 and (B) sodium deoxycholate reduce enzyme activity and should be maintained at low concentrations. Protein denaturants
Figure 4. Effect of protein denaturants on enzyme activity. SDS and urea reduce enzyme activity and should be maintained at low concentrations. Other commonly used reagents 5 . Effects of different inhibitors on UltraNuclease activity. ( A ) . Enzyme activity is strongly influenced by ammonium sulfate concentration. ( B ) . PMSF shows little effect on enzyme activity. ( C ) . At low EDTA concentrations (≤0.5 mM), enzyme activity is largely unaffected, whereas at 5 mM EDTA, activity is completely inhibited. Robust Performance

Figure 7. Stability of UltraNuclease. (A) Enzyme activity remained unchanged after 4 weeks of storage at –20 °C and 4 °C, and after 2 weeks at 37 °C. (B) Enzyme activity was unaffected after 10 freeze–thaw cycles between –80 °C and –25 °C. Reaction conditions recommend Table 1.
