One-pot digestion of 5´ triphosphorylated RNA using RppH (NEB #M0356) & XRN-1 (NEB #M0338)

  1. Set up the reaction as shown below.

    Component Volume
    5´ triphosphorylated RNA Up to 2 µg
    NEBuffer 2 (10X) 3 µl
    RppH (5 U/µl) 1 µl
    XRN-1 (1 U/µl) 2 µl
    Nuclease-free water to 30 µl


  2. Incubate at 37°C for one hour.

  3. Stop the reaction by adding EDTA to a final concentration of 20mM. Alternatively, you can directly proceed to RNA clean up.
