Stable Isotope labeled
Nucleosidetriphosphates
Structural studies on large DNA and RNA molecules by nuclear magnetic resonance
(NMR) require labeling of these molecules with stable isotopes. Silantes
offers a wide range of stable isotope labeled ribo- and deoxyribo-nucleosidetriphosphates
(rNTP, dNTP) for the synthesis of oligonucleotides.
Silantes Technology
Silantes dNTPs and rNTPs are made from DNA and RNA purified from bacteria.
The bacterial strain used is a chemolithoautotrophic organism which grows
on isotopically labeled H2, O2
and CO2. The extracted RNA or DNA is
enzymatically hydrolysed. The 5'-monophosphates are enzymatically phosphorylated
into 5'-dNTPs and 5'-rNTP and purified by ion and reversed phase HPLC.
Added Value
Our new technology for in vivo enrichment of stable isotopes enables us
to offer the ribo- and deoxyribo-nucleosidetriphosphates at very competitive
prices.
Isotope Enrichment
Silantes NTPs can be supplied in any combination of 2H, 13C and 15N.
The isotopic purity for all isotopes is >98%.
Quality
The quality of dNTPs and rNTPs is tested with respect to chemical purity
(>95%) (Fig. 1) and biological competence analysed by PCR. NTPs are
available in solution (C = 50 mM in 5 mM Tris, pH 8.0).
Conclusion
Silantes offers a full range of stable isotope labeled ribo- and deoxyribo-nucleoside-triphosphates:
· with full biological competence
· of >98% isotopic purity
· of >95% chemical purity
· at very competitive prices
