Description
EnzymoPure™Q M-MLV Reverse Transcriptase uses single-stranded RNA or DNA in the presence of a primer to synthesize a complementary DNA strand with high fidelity, sensitivity, and specificity. It is a modified, optimized reverse transcriptase particularly suitable for qPCR analysis. The EnzymoPure™Q M-MLV Reverse Transcriptase contains RNase H enzyme activity that can specifically degrade the RNA strand of an RNA-DNA hybrid, enabling the subsequent synthesis of second-strand cDNA.EnzymoPure™Q M-MLV Reverse Transcriptase, a commonly used high-quality reverse transcriptase, is widely used in the synthesis of first-strand cDNA using total RNA or mRNA templates, and is particularly suitable for qPCR and one-step qRT-PCR analysis. This product is also applicable for conventional PCR, synthesis of second-strand cDNA and construction of cDNA library, and cloning of target genes. It can also be used for DNA probe labeling with fluorescence, biotin, digoxin, or isotope through reverse transcription reaction, or for RNA studies by primer extension.Please refer to Figure 1 for the qPCR analysis of the GADPH gene in HEK293T cells using the cDNA templates obtained by the EnzymoPure™Q M-MLV reverse transcriptase.Figure 1Source：Recombinant reverse transcriptase expressed in E. coli.Definition of enzyme activity unit: One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme that incorporates 1 nmol of dTTP into acid-precipitable material in 10min at 37℃ using poly(A)•oligo(dT)12-18 as template-primer. Reaction system: 50mM Tris-HCl (pH8.3), 75mM KCl, 3mM MgCl2, 10mM DTT, 0.5mM [3H]-dTTP, and 0.4mM polyA•oligo(dT)12-18.Purity: This product is free from DNA endonuclease, exonuclease, phosphatase, and RNase, and can meet the requirements of conventional reverse transcription.Storage buffer: 20mM Tris-HCl (pH7.5), 150mM NaCl, 0.1mM EDTA, 1mM DTT, 0.01%(v/v) NP-40, and 50%(v/v) glycerolInactivation or inhibition：RT Q M-MLV Reverse Transcriptase can be inactivated by incubation at 80℃ for 10 minutes, or inhibited by EDTA and EGTA chelators, inorganic phosphates or pyrophosphates, and polyamine.The concentration of M-MLV is 200U/µl. When 20µl of reverse transcription reaction volume is used, D7188S, D7188M, and D7188L are sufficient for 50, 250, and 1000 reactions, respectively. provides a variety of reverse transcriptase.

For other applications such as primer extension and probe labeling, please refer to references related to M-MLV reverse transcriptase.FAQ:1. The reverse transcription product of total RNA is invisible after electrophoresis.It is a normal phenomenon, because the amount of RNA template is low, and the amount of reverse transcription products in different sizes is even lower. 2. No specific product is amplified from the reverse transcription product.a. To exclude the problem of PCR reaction system or reverse transcription product, use gene-specific primers to amplify internal reference genes, such as actin and GAPDH. If reference genes can be amplified, but not the target gene, it indicates primers of the target gene are not well designed. b. Template RNA may be degraded. The integrity of total RNA can be checked by agarose gel or on-chip electrophoresis. Intact total RNA exhibits sharp, clear 28S and 18S rRNA bands, and the 28S rRNA band should be approximately twice as intense as the 18S rRNA band. A ratio less than 2 indicates the degradation of total RNA and new total RNA should be prepared. c. RNA samples may contain some components that inhibit the activity of reverse transcriptase. Those contaminants include phenol, SDS, EDTA, guanidine salts, phosphoric acid, pyrophosphoric acid, polyamine, spermidine, etc, which can be removed effectively by column purification or precipitation, washing, and redissolution. Total RNA extracted by Zol or Trizol produced by can fully meet the requirements of reverse transcription.d. Insufficient templates for reverse transcription. When DNase I is used to remove the residual DNA in the RNA sample prior to reverse transcription and is subjected to heat-inactivation, EDTA should be added to the RNA sample at a final concentration of 2.5mM to protect RNA from degradation under high temperature. Additionally, to amplify a specific gene, it is necessary to extract RNA from tissues in which the target gene is highly expressed. e. An inappropriate primer is used for reverse transcription. Random hexamer instead of Oligo(dT)18 should be used for the reverse transcription of bacterial total RNA which does not have poly(A) tails. Gene-specific primers used for reverse transcription must be well-designed
