Ribonuclease A (RNase A) is an endoribonuclease, that specifically cleaves single-stranded RNA 3' to pyrimidine residues (cytosine, uracil). Thereby, it generates pyrimidine-3'-phosphate or oligonucleotides with terminal pyrimidine-3'-phosphates. A major application for RNAse A is the removal of RNA from preparations of plasmid DNA. For this application, DNAse free RNAse A is recommended to be used at a final concentration of 10 ug/ml. For research use.
