Product Description

Wheat Germ

Application Notes

In molecular biology, wheat germ extract is used to carry out in vitro translation experiments, as the plant embryo contains all the macromolecular components necessary for translating mRNA into amino acids, but contains relatively low levels of its own mRNA. Wheat germ is also useful in biochemistry, as it contains lectins that bind strongly to certain glycoproteins, hence it can be used to isolate such proteins.
