Description: Uracil-DNA Glycosylase (UDG) catalyzes the release of free uracil from uracil-containing DNA. UDGefficiently hydrolyzes uracil from single-stranded or double-stranded DNA, but not from oligomers (6 or fewer bases).It releases uracil from ss- or ds-DNA and is applicable to eliminates PCR carry-over contamination.reatment of 0.1 µg of uracil-containing DNA with 1 unit of UDG for 10 minutes at 37°C renders the DNA incapable of being copied by DNA polymerase. The enzyme can be 95% heat killed by incubation at 95°C for 10 minutes. Since UDG remains partially active following heat treatment at 95°C, it is recommended that uracil glycosylase inhibitor be added to prevent degradation of product DNA. Alternatively, reaction products can be immediately extracted with phenol/chloroform.
