Carrier Free
CF stands for Carrier Free (CF). We typically add Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) as a carrier protein to our recombinant proteins. Adding a carrier protein enhances protein stability, increases shelf-life, and allows the recombinant protein to be stored at a more dilute concentration. The carrier free version does not contain BSA.
In general, we advise purchasing the recombinant protein with BSA for use in cell or tissue culture, or as an ELISA standard. In contrast, the carrier free protein is recommended for applications, in which the presence of BSA could interfere.

Assay Procedure
- Assay Buffer: 100 mM Tris, 1 mM MgCl2, pH 8.5
- Recombinant S. marcescens NucA (rS.m.NucA) (Catalog # 10038-NAB)
- Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sodium salt from salmon testes, 5 mg/mL stock in deionized water
- Coupling Enzyme: Recombinant Mouse Alkaline Phosphatase/ALPL (rmALPL) (Catalog # 2910-AP)
- Malachite Green Phosphate Detection Kit (Catalog # DY996)
- 96-well Clear Plate (Catalog # DY990)
- Plate Reader with Absorbance Read Capability
- Dilute 1 M Phosphate Standard by adding 10 µL of the 1 M Phosphate Standard to 990 µL of Assay Buffer for a 10 mM stock. Continue by adding 10 µL of the 10 mM phosphate stock to 990 µL of Assay Buffer for a 100 µM stock. This is the first point of the standard curve.
- Complete the standard curve by performing six one-half serial dilutions of the 100 µM Phosphate stock in Assay Buffer. The standard curve has a range of 0.078 to 5 nmol per well.
- Prepare a reaction mixture containing 0.16 mg/mL DNA and 4 µg/mL rmALPL in Assay Buffer.
- Dilute rS.m.NucA to 4 ng/mL in Assay Buffer.
- Load 50 µL of each dilution of the standard curve into a plate. Include a curve blank containing 50 μL of Assay Buffer.
- Load 25 µL of 4 ng/mL rS. marcescens NucA into empty wells of the same plate as the curve. Include a Control containing 25 µL of Assay Buffer.
- Add 25 µL of reaction mixture to the wells, excluding the standard curve.
- Seal plate and incubate at room temperature for 20 minutes.
- Add 30 µL of the Malachite Green Reagent A to all wells. Mix briefly.
- Add 100 µL of deionized water to all wells. Mix briefly.
- Add 30 µL of the Malachite Green Reagent B to all wells. Mix and incubate for 20 minutes at room temperature.
- Read plate at 620 nm (absorbance) in endpoint mode.
- Calculate specific activity:
Specific Activity (pmol/min/µg) = | Phosphate released* (nmol) x (1000 pmol/nmol) |
| Incubation time (min) x amount of enzyme (µg) |
*Derived from the phosphate standard curve using linear or 4-parameter fitting and adjusted for Control.
- rS.m.NucA: 0.1 ng (0.0001 µg)
- rmALPL: 0.1 µg
- DNA: 4 µg

Reconstitution Calculator
Background: NucA nuclease
Serratia marcescens endonuclease NucA is a non-specific nuclease that degrades both single- and double-stranded nucleic acids, including DNA and RNA, but exhibits no proteolytic activity (1) making it ideal for the removal of nucleic acid contaminants from protein samples and in applications where complete digestion of nucleic acids is desirable. NucA is commonly used in bioprocessing applications to reduce viscosity of samples caused by genomic DNA. NucA hydrolyzes internal phosphodiester bonds between nucleotides in nucleic acids to produce 5'-monophosphate oligonucleotides of 3-8 bases in length (2). The active enzyme is a homodimer with two disulfide bonds in each monomer that are crucial to the enzyme activity and stability (3). The optimum pH for enzyme activity is found to be 8.0-9.2. The activity of the recombinant enzyme is measured by a phosphatase coupled assay (4), where the 5'-phosphate of oligosaccharides generated by the enzyme is further released by non-specific alkaline phosphatase and quantitated by Malachite reagents (5).
