}{ MAGNESIUM CHLORIDE

SKU	11MGCL0500
Application Notes	Magnesium chloride is a widely used reagent in chemistry and molecular biology as a source of magnesium ion. Magnesium has a variety of biological roles in enzymology, cell membrane and wall structural integrity, muscle cell physiology, and nucleic acid structure. Magnesium is an essential co-factor in many enzymes, including deoxyribonuclease (DNase), the restriction enzymes EcoR I and EcoR V, and Ribonuclease H. Magnesium also stabilizes polymeric nucleic acids such as transfer RNA and ribozymes.
