Capping Kit
This kit is designed for the in vitro enzymatic capping of mRNA. It allows the addition of a Cap0 or Cap1 structure on the 5’ terminus of mRNA, improving its stability and translation. The Vaccinia virus Capping Enzyme catalyzes the addition of a 7’methylguanylate cap to the 5’ end of mRNA (Cap0) while the 2’O-methyltransferase uses the Cap0-mRNA as substrate to produce a Cap1 mRNA by methylation of 2’OH of the first nucleotide using S-Adenosylmethionine (SAM) as methyl group donor.
Kit contents:
- Ribonuclease inhibitor (40u/µl), 50µl
- 2’O-Methyltransferase (50u/µl), 50µl
