Polyadenylic acid potassium
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Polyadenylic acid potassium (Poly(A)) is a polyribonucleotide. Polyadenylic acid potassium constitutes the 3'-poly(A) tail of eukaryotic mRNAs, governing mRNA maturation, stability, and translation initiation. Polyadenylic acid potassium serves as a target for studying nucleic acid structure-function relationships, with small molecules binding its tail influencing mRNA function and protein production. Polyadenylic acid (potassium) can be used for the research of cancer.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
Polyadenylic acid potassium 55 μM undergoes pH-dependent conformational transitions, existing as a single-stranded helix at physiological pH, an intermediate B-form near pH 5.81, a double-stranded A-form at pH 4.0, and an aggregated "frozen" form at pH <3.8[1].
Polyadenylic acid potassium undergoes stacking and hydrogen bonding interactions with Lauroyl Uridine-containing liposomes to induce ordered base orientation[1].

Protocols

RNA extraction experimental
By lysing cells, releasing RNA, and removing impurities such as proteins and DNA, high-purity RNA products are finally obtained. The commonly used traditional method is the guanidine isothiocyanate/phenol/chloroform method (Trizol), which is suitable for a variety of animal materials including animal tissues, microorganisms, cultured cells, etc., and most plant materials.

Protocol For Protein Expression And Purification
Recombinant protein expression in Escherichia coli followed by purification of a His-tagged soluble protein by immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC), with optional MBP fusion and TEV tag removal when the construct includes these elements. The biological readout is production of the encoded target protein, detected as an inducible band at the expected molecular mass by SDS-PAGE and quantified by total protein assay or chromatographic absorbance; the purification readout is enrichment of the target protein in elution fractions after selective binding of polyhistidine residues to immobilized Ni2+/metal-chelate resin and elution by imidazole-containing buffer. Expression is driven by an inducible bacterial expression system, commonly T7/lac-based, in which IPTG or lactose/auto-induction activates transcription and translation of the cloned gene; lower induction temperature, lower inducer concentration, induction timing, and solubility-enhancing fusion tags can influence the frac
