RiboCleave™ 1 is a sequence-specific RNA restriction enzyme that recognizes and cleaves the GAA↓AU sequence in single-stranded RNA. Designed for RNA analytics applications, it enables rapid generation of defined analytical fragments for mRNA cap-efficiency assessment. A single digestion step replaces complex multi-step RNase H workflows, reducing sample preparation time from approximately 6 hours to less than 30 minutes. As a sample-preparation step, RiboCleave™ 1 is method-independent by design: the same digest can be analyzed by urea-PAGE, Bioanalyzer or LC-MS.

 Key Benefits

  • Reduces cap-analysis sample preparation from approximately 6 hours to less than 30 minutes.
  • Eliminates guide oligo design and optimization requirements.
  • Method-independent by design: one digest for urea-PAGE, Bioanalyzer and LC-MS readouts.
  • Enables in-house cap analysis on standard gel equipment.

Key Features

  • Sequence-specific cleavage of GAA↓AU motifs in single-stranded RNA.
  • Single-enzyme, one-incubation workflow.
  • Compatible with natural and modified RNA substrates, including N1-methylpseudouridine and pseudouridine.
  • Supplied with dedicated Reaction Buffers for analytical flexibility on gel and/or HPLC/LC-MS readouts
