Ribonuclease R （RNase R） is a Mg2+ dependent 3'→5' exonuclease derived from Escherichia coli. RNase R can digest all linear RNA. However, it cannot digest ring-shaped RNA, lasso structure or double-stranded RNA molecules with 3 'end protruding ends less than 7 nucleotides, tRNA and 5SRNA with complex secondary structure. RNase R is commonly used in gene expression and variable shear studies and can digest linear RNA to enrich circular RNA or lasso structured RNA. This product does not contain DNase, other RNA endonuclease and exonuclease activities.
