DNase I, or Deoxyribonuclease I, is an endonuclease that can digest single-stranded or double-stranded DNA. It hydrolyzes phosphodiester bonds to produce monodeoxynucleotides and oligodeoxynucleotides containing 5'-phosphate groups and 3'-OH groups. The optimal working pH range of DNase I is 7-8. The activity of DNase I depends on Ca2+ and can be activated by divalent metal ions such as Co2+, Mn2+, and Zn2+. In the presence of Mg2+, DNase I can randomly cut any site of double-stranded DNA; in the presence of Mn2+, DNase I can cut the DNA double strand at the same site, forming a blunt end or a sticky end with 1-2 nucleotides protruding, which can be used for the treatment of various RNA samples.
Features
- Recombinant DNAse I from yeast
- RNase-free
- High enzymatic cleavage efficiency.
- More suitable for applications sensitive to RNase.

Figures
1. Strong digestive activity

Figure 1. Plasmid DNA digestion
1 μg of plasmid DNA was digested using different amounts of DNase I from Yeasen and Supplier A. The results showed that the plasmid DNA removal efficiency of 14549ES was better than that of Supplier A.
2. No RNase residue
Figure 2. RNase residue detection
10 U of Yeasen Recombinant DNase I (RNase-free, Yeast) was incubated with RNA substrate at 37°C for 1 h. Agarose gel electrophoresis analysis showed that no residual RNase activity was detected in the three batches of the enzyme preparation, completely eliminating the risk of RNA sample degradation.
3. RNA extraction application verification

Figure 3. RNA extraction application verification
20 U of the enzyme preparation was used to treat 12 pre-treatment samples of mouse liver from different sources. RNA extraction and agarose gel electrophoresis analysis showed that the RNA integrity of the enzyme-treated group was good, indicating that this DNase I can effectively digest DNA without affecting the quality of RNA, and fully meets the technical requirements of RNA extraction experiments.
Store this enzyme at -20°C and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles to preserve catalytic activity. The product is shipped Dry Ice and remains stable for up to one year from the date of manufacture when stored under recommended conditions. Aliquoting the stock solution into single-use volumes is recommended for enzymes used infrequently to minimize thermal cycling of the bulk stock.

Removal of template DNA in in vitro transcription.. Always verify compatibility with your specific template, buffer, and downstream workflow.
One unit (U) is defined as the amount of enzyme that degrades 1 µg of DNA or RNA substrate to acid-soluble form in 30 min at 37°C under defined buffer conditions.
This enzyme is produced as Recombinant (E. coli) and supplied as a Research Use Only (RUO) reagent. Each lot is subjected to activity assay, purity assessment by SDS-PAGE, and functional validation prior to release. A Certificate of Analysis (CoA) and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) are available on request.
Nuclease activity typically requires divalent metal ion cofactors (Mg²⁺ or Mn²⁺ at 1–5 mM). Activity is inhibited by chelating agents such as EDTA (≥1 mM), high salt concentrations, and reducing agents such as DTT at elevated concentrations. Heat inactivation (65–75°C for 15 min) is effective for most nucleases, allowing removal of enzyme activity after digestion without column purification.
