Endotoxin Level : Not tested-

Biological Activity : Not tested

Storage : Short term: -20°C; Long term: -80°C. Minimize freeze and thaw cycles.

Research Area : Microbiology

Restriction : For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures, drug use, or for administration to humans or animals.

Relevance : Protects DNA from oxidative damage by sequestering intracellular Fe2+ ion and storing it in the form of Fe3+ oxyhydroxide mineral. One hydrogen peroxide oxidizes two Fe2+ ions, which prevents hydroxyl radical production by the Fenton reaction (By similarity). It protects DNA from hydroxyl radical-mediated cleavage. Binds DNA with no apparent sequence specificity without self-aggregation nor promotion of DNA condensation. Is unable to protect DNA from DNase-mediated cleavage.
