Application
Polythymidylicacid sodium salt has been used as a control to compare with poly(A) in aforce-extension experiment to investigate differences in mechanical properties. Polythymidylic acid (Poly(dT)) may be used to study the characteristics of single-stranded DNA binding proteins.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Polythymidylicacid, also known as poly-deoxythymidine (poly-dT), has various applications inmolecular biology research. One of its most common uses is for mRNApurification, where it is utilized to isolate mRNA from a mixture of RNAmolecules for the preparation of cDNA libraries. In addition, poly-dT can beused as a tool for the detection of microbial contamination in water samples.It can also be used for the purification of mRNA-protein fusion molecules inmRNA Display selections.
