• Catalyzes the phosphorylation of 5′ hydroxyl termini of double- and single-straned DNA or RNA • Catalyzes the transfer of the γ-phosphate of ATP to a 5′-OH terminus in DNA or RNA • The enzyme phosphorylates synthetic linkers and fragments of DNA or RNA prior to ligation • Used for 5′-end labeling of nucleic acids prior to DNA or RNA sequencing • Contains 3′-phosphatase activity • Available in 1000 and 5000 unit formats
• Catalyzes the hydrolysis of phosphate monoesters • Can be used to remove the 5'-P end of DNA or RNA prior to 5' labelling • Used to remove the 5'-P ends of linearized vectors to prevent their "empty" recircularization during cloning processes • Compatible with protein dephosphorylation • Available in 1000 and 5000 unit formats
• Very suitable for diagnostic immunodetection techniques and proteins immunolabelling and nucleic acids transferred on membrane techniques • Catalyses the release of 5'-P and 3'-P groups of DNA, RNA and nucleotide molecules • Removes the 5'-P from DNA, RNA, rNTP and dNTP molecules • Used to remove the 5'-P ends of linearized vectors to prevent their "empty" recircularization during cloning processes • Resistant to chemical changes and active in a wide variety of reaction buffers • Can be inactivated by heat for 5 minutes at 70 °C • Compatible with protein dephosphorylation • Available in 1000 and 5000 unit formats
