Cap-Clip™ Acid Pyrophosphatase - 100 units

Cap-Clip™ Acid Pyrophosphatase was developed as an improvement over Tobacco Acid Pyrophosphatase (TAP). Cap-Clip™ Acid Pyrophosphatase can be used unit for unit in any previously developed protocol that utilized TAP. The Reaction Buffers for the two enzymes are identical. Cap-Clip™ Acid Pyrophosphatase is a plant-derived enzyme that hydrolyzes various pyrophosphate bonds, including the pyrophosphate bonds of the 5'-terminal "cap" of eukaryotic messenger RNAs, as well as 5' cap structures on many small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs), heterogeneous nuclear RNAs and some viral RNAs. Complete hydrolysis of capped RNAs generates RNA that has a 5'-monophosphate group. With lot to lot consistency, absence of critical contaminants and a dependable inventory, Cap-Clip™ Acid Pyrophosphatase replaces all TAP needs.
