Nuclease P1 

Nuclease P1 is a single-stranded specific endonuclease, it hydrolyzes nucleic acids into 5'-mononucleotides and cleaves the single-stranded region of a double-stranded nucleic acid. Nuclease P1 is one of the most well-known single stranded specific nucleases in the field of molecular biology, it is widely used in the pharmaceutical and food industries^[1]. Nuclease P1 can be obtained by fermentation of Penicillium citrinum: through extraction process, ultrafiltration concentration, drying and purification, etc.

Reaction condition
pH range: Effective pH range: 4.0-8.0, optimal pH range: 4.5-5.5
Temperature range: Effective temperature range: 35°C-85°C, optimal temperature range: 65°C-75°C

Protocol Yeast nucleic acid (RNA) is used as the substrate, the substrate concentration is 2%-5%, the recommended enzyme addition amount is 2%-4%(based on the dry matter of the substrate), and the enzymatic hydrolysis time under the optimal conditions is 7 h-9 h;
Yeast is used as the substrate, the yeast concentration is 10%-12%, the nuclease amount is 0.3%-0.5%(based on dry yeast matter), and the enzymatic hydrolysis time under the optimal conditions is 7 h-9 h.
Note: Due to differences in application fields and experimental parameters, the actual addition method and amount of this product should be determined through testing.
