2'-Deoxyguanosine-5'-triphosphate trisodium salt

Description

2′-Deoxyguanosine 5′-triphosphate (dGTP) is made of a guanine nucleobase attached to deoxyribose and a 5′-hydroxyl on the sugar linked to a chain of three phosphate residues. It is used by the cells for the synthesis of DNA with the help of DNA polymerase.

Chemical properties

The Uses of 2'-Deoxyguanosine-5'-triphosphate trisodium salt

2′-Deoxyguanosine 5′-triphosphate trisodium salt is utilized for methods such as DNA sequencing, PCR and other DNA polymerase based DNA synthesis and repair techniques.

General Description

dGTP, PCR Grade, is a 100 mM clear, colorless solution of the sodium salt (pH 8.3). PCR Grade nucleotides from Roche are specially manufactured and purified to the highest possible chemical purity. PCR Grade nucleotides contain at least 99% of the relevant deoxynucleoside-triphosphate (dNTP) and less than 0.9% deoxynucleoside-diphosphate (dNDP).

Biochem/physiol Actions

2′-Deoxyguanosine 5′-triphosphate is used in vivo synthesis for the synthesis of DNA via DNA polymerases.

Storage

Store at -20°C. Store under desiccating conditions. The product can be stored for up to 12 months.
