- Removal of single-stranded extensions (3'and 5') to leave ligatable blunt ends
- Transcriptional mapping
- Cleavage of hairpin loops
- Supplied with 10X Reaction Buffer
Description:
A single-strand specific DNA and RNA endonuclease which will degrade single-stranded extensions from the ends of DNA and RNA molecules, leaving blunt, ligatable ends.
Source:
Mung bean sprouts
Applications:
- Removal of 3´ and 5´ extensions from DNA or RNA termini
- Transcriptional mapping
- Cleavage of hairpin loops
- Excision of gene coding sequences from genomic DNA
- Generation of new restriction sites
Reagents Supplied:
Mung Bean Nuclease Reaction Buffer (10X)
Enzyme Properties
Molecular Weight:
Theoretical: 39 kDa
Reaction & Storage Conditions
Reaction Conditions:
1X Mung Bean Nuclease Reaction Buffer
Incubate at 30°C.
1X Mung Bean Nuclease Reaction Buffer:
50 mM sodium acetate
30 mM NaCl
1 mM ZnSO4
pH 5.0 @ 25°C
Unit Definition:
One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme required to produce 1 µg of acid-soluble total nucleotide in a total reaction volume of 50 μl in 1 minute at 37°C in 1X Mung Bean Nuclease Reaction Buffer with 0.5 mg/ml denatured Calf Thymus DNA.
Concentration:
10,000 units/ml
Storage Conditions:
10 mM sodium acetate
0.1 mM zinc acetate
1 mM Cysteine

-20°C
Notes
Usage notes:
- It is no longer necessary to supplement Mung Bean Nuclease reactions with Zn2+. The zinc acetate in the storage buffer fulfills the Zn2+ requirement of the enzyme even after dilution in a reaction.
FAQs
- Should I use Mung Bean Nuclease or DNA Polymerase I, Large (Klenow) Fragment (NEB# M0210)?
- Is the Mung Bean Nuclease active in other NEBuffers?
- Can Mung Bean Nuclease be heat inactivated?
- Does Zn2+ need to be added to a Mung Bean Nuclease reaction?

Quality Control for Current Lot
Quality control values for a specific lot can be found on the datacard which accompanies each product.
Quality Assurance Statement:
Purified free of double-strand exonuclease contamination.
Terminal Integrity:
After incubation of 1 μg of lambda DNA (Hae III digest) with 10 units of Mung Bean Nuclease at 30ºC for 30 hour(s), > 95% of the DNA fragments can be ligated with T4 DNA ligase. Of these ligated fragments, >95% can be recut with Hae III.
