Ribonucleases (RNases) are ubiquitous enzymes that can detrimentally affect RNA
isolation in the laboratory. Many applications such as RT-PCR and in vitro transcription
and translation may be affected as well. RNase can renature after autoclaving and is
difficult to inactivate. Many RNase inhibitors are available commercially. Promega's
RNasin® Ribonuclease Inhibitor, one of the first introduced, is exceptionally
effective at controlling RNase activity during molecular biology procedures.
