Ans. Benzonase is a genetically produced endonuclease that attacks all forms of DNA and RNA (single-stranded, double-stranded, circular, and linear) and degrades them. It is ideal for removing nucleic acids from recombinant proteins. It is effective over a large range of operating scenarios and for applications that require complete digestion of nucleic acids. Benzonase decreases viscosity in protein extracts and restricts cell clumping.
