RNA synthesis monitoring[1]
Description:
Ethynyl-labeled uridine (5-EU) can be used as a replacement for BrU (5-Bromo-uridine) to measure de novo RNA synthesis in proliferating cells. 5-EU is cell permeable and incorporates into nascent RNA instead of its natural analog uridine.
The resulting ethynyl-functionalized RNA can subsequently be detected via Cu(I)-catalyzed click chemistry that offers the choice to introduce a Biotin group (via Azides of Biotin) for subsequent purification tasks or a fluorescent group (via Azides of fluorescent dyes) for subsequent microscopic imaging[1].
Presolski et al.[2] and Hong et al.[3] provide a general protocol for Cu(I)-catalyzed click chemistry reactions that may be used as a starting point for the set up and optimization of individual assays.
Long term storage at < -20°C. If stored as recommended, Jena Bioscience guarantees optimal performance of this product for 12 months after date of delivery.
