Component | Amount per reaction | Final |
---|---|---|
Template DNA (linearized plasmid) | Variable | 25 μg |
10× Transcription buffer | 100 μl | 1× |
100 mM NTP (each)* | 10 μl | 1 mM |
10× Nucleotide analog mix | 100 μl | 1× |
1 M DTT | 10 μl | 10 mM |
RNase inhibitor (40 U μl−1) | 10 μl | 400 U |
T7 RNA polymerase (home made) | 50 μl | ~500 U |
Reaction volume | 1,000 μl |
For some analogs, the final concentration of the parent NTP should be 0.5 mM (instead of 1 mM; see Table 1).
