The Solution
SAN enzymes provide a flexible and efficient approach to DNA removal. The amount of SAN needed can be adjusted based on the complexity of the lysate. For optimal results, adjusting the NaCl concentration to 0.5 M and incubating at 4°C overnight can enhance DNA dissociation from proteins. Subsequent SAN treatment at 25°C for 30 minutes effectively degrades the DNA. The required SAN concentration typically ranges between 50-1000 U/ml, depending on the extract and conditions. Verification of DNA removal can be done using agarose gel electrophoresis.
