Description
Category: Amines, Aromatics, Isotope Labelled Compounds, Pharmaceuticals, Intermediates and Fine Chemicals /// Application Notes: Labelled Ethidium bromide (EtBr) (E890700). It is the most commonly used nucleic acid stain for PAGE or agarose gel electrophoresis. The fluorescence of EtBr increases 21-fold upon binding to double-stranded RNA and 25-fold on binding double-stranded DNA so that destaining the background is not necessary with a low stain concentration (10 µg/ml). Ethidium bromide has been used in a number of fluorimetric assays for nucleic acids. It has been shown to bind to single-stranded DNA (although not as strongly) and triple-stranded DNA. Because of its ability to bind to DNA, EtBr is an inhibitor of DNA polymerase. Antiprotozoal (Trypanosoma). /// References: Waring, M.J., et al.: J. Mol.
