Enzymes For Innovation
The NEB catalog highlights a wide variety of enzyme functionalities found in nature or engineered for specific purposes. However, in molecular biology, new tools can often lead to new discoveries. Taking advantage of the enzymology expertise at NEB, we are offering novel enzymes with interesting and unique activities for manipulating DNA, RNA, proteins and glycans, even if specific applications for them have yet to be discovered. Our hope is that by engaging researcher’s imaginations, our “Enzymes for Innovation” initiative will enable the development of new molecular techniques that so often lead to new discoveries.
Products Available
| NAME | NEB# | ACTIVITY |
|---|---|---|
| 5-hydroxymethyluridine DNA Kinase | M0659 |  5-hydroxymethyluridine DNA Kinase (5-HMUDK) transfers the gamma phosphate from ATP to the hydroxymethyl moiety of 5-hydroxymethyluridine in polymeric DNA. |
| EcoGII Methyltransferase | M0603 |  EcoGII Methyltransferase is a non-specific methyltransferase that modifies adenine residues (N6) in any sequence context. |
| Endoglycoceramidase I (EGCase I) | P0773 |  Catalyzes the hydrolysis of the β-glycosidic linkage between oligosaccharides and ceramides in various glycosphingolipids. |
| Nb.BssSI | R0681 |  Generates a nick in the 3´ strand at the following recognition site: CACGAG (none/-1). |
| RtcB Ligase | M0458 |  Joins single-stranded RNA with a 3´-phosphate or 2´,3´-cyclic phosphate to another RNA with a 5´ -hydroxyl. |
| TelN Protelomerase | M0651 |  Cuts dsDNA at a TelN recognition sequence (56 bp) and leaves covalently closed ends at the site of cleavage. |
| Thermostable FEN1 | M0645 |  Catalyzes the cleavage of 5´ DNA flaps from branched double-stranded DNA substrates. |
