Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ Ribonucleoside vanadyl complexes are stable complexes formed between ribonucleotides. They are low molecular weight inhibitors of cellular ribonucleases (RNases) that are used for the isolation of RNA from cells._x000D_ Application_x000D_ Ribonucleoside vanadyl complexes are used as ribonuclease inhibitors during cell lysis and mRNA purification, to protect mRNA during cDNA production, and to protect RNA during digestion of DNA by DNaseI._x000D_ Ribonucleoside vanadyl complexes has been used:_x000D_ • as a component of lysis buffer for cell lines prior to Poly(U) pull down assay_x000D_ • to inhibit nucleases prior to immunoprecipitation (IP) of m6A-containing RNA fragment_x000D_ • as a component of hybridization buffer for human retinal slices_x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ Ribonucleoside vanadyl complexes (RVC) elicits antimicrobial functionality by inhibiting ribosomal subunit formation and suppressing the growth of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. It is also used as a preservative solution for tissues.
