Is this the same thing as eg. micrococcal nuclease?
How do you inactivate benzonase? Can you treat a
protein sample and then inactivate the enzyme so
that you can re-introduce DNA or RNA and not have
them chewed up? (ie. would it be any use in cleaning
samples for transcription/translation?)
Thanks for any (scientific) info,
Bernard
