Description
| Applicable For | PCR amplicons containing 5-hydroxymethylcytosine are useful in a variety of applications such as the study of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine binding/interacting proteins or defining methods that distinguish between 5-methylcytosine and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine. |
|---|---|
| Concentration | 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine dNTP Mix: 2.5 µmol/250 µl as a [10 mM] solution.Contains [2.5 mM] of each dNTP (dATP, dTTP, dGTP and d5hmCTP). |
| Sample Storage | 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine dNTP Mix is guaranteed for 12 months at -20°C. Avoid multiple freeze/thaw cycles. For long-term storage, aliquoting is recommended with storage at -80°C. |
5-hyxroxymethylcytosine-containing DNA substrates were synthesized from a plasmid by utilizing the 5-hmC dNTP mix during PCR amplification. Further analysis utilizing these DNA substrates helped confirm the 5-hmC dehydroxymethylation activities of DNA methyltransferases DNMT3A and DNMT3B.
