Abstract:
Method for treating a hydrophobically-modified textile with an aqueous solution of a nuclease enzyme, preferably a deoxyribonuclease or ribonuclease enzyme, rinsing and drying the textile. Use of the finishing step for improved cleaning with an aqueous solution of a nuclease enzyme, preferably a deoxyribonuclease or ribonuclease enzyme
Abstract:
The present invention provides methods for detecting a target nucleic acid in a sample by, for example, incubating the target nucleic acid with a detection probe containing a nucleic acid sequence complementary to at least a portion of the target nucleic acid and a nuclease enzyme that specifically cleaves double-stranded nucleic acids. Hybridization between the detection probe and the target nucleic acid thereby leads to cleavage of the detection probe, releasing a portion of the probe attached to a detectable agent. The portions of the digested probes attached to the detectable agent can be separated from unbound probe and detected in order to determine the presence of the target nucleic acid in the sample. Thus, the invention enables rapid and accurate analysis of a sample for the presence of desired nucleic acid biomarkers.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are polypeptides having nuclease activity. Some of the polypeptides having nuclease activity were generated by an improved gene site mutagenesis ("GSSM") method or the tailored multi-site combinatorial assembly ("TMCA") method. Also disclosed are compositions and kits comprising the polypeptides having nuclease activity, and methods for making and using these polypeptides, compositions and kits.
Abstract:
A cleaning composition comprising a nuclease enzyme, preferably a deoxyribonuclease and/or ribonuclease enzyme and a surfactant system comprising an anionic surfactant and a nonionic surfactant wherein the weight ratio of anionic to non-ionic surfactant is from 1.5:1 to 1:10.
