Recombinant Methanothermus fervidus DNA-binding protein HMf-2 (hmfB)

Binds and compacts DNA (95 to 150 base pairs) to form nucleosome-like structures that contain positive DNA supercoils (PubMed:2377617, PubMed:7809089, PubMed:10704305, PubMed:28798133) . Increases the resistance of DNA to thermal denaturation in vitro (PubMed:2377617) .

If the delivery form is liquid, the default storage buffer is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 5%-50% glycerol. If the delivery form is lyophilized powder, the buffer before lyophilization is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 6% Trehalose, pH 8.0.

We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Please reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.We recommend to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20°C/-80°C. Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference.

"HMf, a DNA-binding protein isolated from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Methanothermus fervidus, is most closely related to histones." Sandman K.M., Krzycki J.A., Dobrinski B., Lurz R., Reeve J.N. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 87:5788-5791 (1990)

The shelf life is related to many factors, storage state, buffer ingredients, storage temperature and the stability of the protein itself. Generally, the shelf life of liquid form is 6 months at -20°C/-80°C. The shelf life of lyophilized form is 12 months at -20°C/-80°C.
