This product is assigned a minimum activity specification of 2000 units per milligram protein and a minimum protein specification of 80%. At the minimum value for each specification, the 150,000 unit package size would contain 93.75 mg of powder using the following calculation:
Units/(activity x %protein) = mass or 150,000/(2000 x 0.80) = 93.75 mg
The activity and protein content are lot-specific and reported in the product Certificate of Analysis. As the activity increases the mass per package size decreases. Please see the link below to review a sample or lot-specific Certificate:

Application
DNAse I is used to nick DNA as a first step to incorporate labeled bases into DNA. The enzyme from Sigma has been used in the processing of rat brain tissue. This study showed that axonal growth on astrocytes is not inhibited by oligodendrocytes.[1] In another study, thawed fixed samples of E. coli were digested with DNAse I from Sigma along with other enzymes. The digestion was done before permeabilization and staining of the nucleic acids.[2]
Deoxyribonuclease I from bovine pancreas has been used in a study to investigate a two-dimensional zymogram analysis of nucleases in Bacillus subtilis. Deoxyribonuclease I from bovine pancreas has also been used in a study to investigate the effects of minor and major groove-binding drugs and intercalators on the DNA association of minor groove-binding proteins RecA and deoxyribonuclease I.
Used for the removal of DNA from protein samples.
Biochem/physiol Actions
DNase I is an endonuclease that acts on phosphodiester bonds adjacent to pyrimidines to produce polynucleotides with terminal 5′-phosphates. In the presence of Mg2+, DNAse I cleaves each strand of DNA independently and the cleavage sites are random. Both DNA strands are cleaved at approximately the same site in the presence of Mn2+. The pH optimum is found to be between 7 and 8. Divalent cations such as Mn2+, Ca2+, Co2+, and Zn2+ are activators of the enzyme. A concentration of 5 mM Ca2+ stabilizes the enzyme against proteolytic digestion. DNAse I from bovine pancreas consists of four chromatographically distinguishable components, A, B, C, and D, with their molar ratios being 4:1:1. Only minor amounts of D are found.[3] 2-Mercaptoethanol, chelators, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)[4] and actin[5] are known to inhibit the enzyme activity.
Physical form
Lyophilized powder containing calcium chloride
Preparation Note
10 mg/mL solution of DNAse I in 0.15 M NaCl may lose <10% of its activity when stored for a week in aliquots at −20 °C. The same solutions stored in aliquots at 2-8 °C can lose approximately 20% activity. It remains active for up to five hours at 60 °C between pH 5 and 7, and loses activity in <10 minutes at 68 °C. It loses activity at the rate of 6%/hour in acetate buffer (pH 5.0) and tris buffer ((pH 7.2) at 1 mg/mL concentration.
Analysis Note
Protein determined by biuret.
Other Notes
One Kunitz unit will produce a ΔA260 of 0.001 per min per mL at pH 5.0 at 25 °C, using DNA, Type I or III as substrate.

Good afternoon, if the stock concentration of 10mg/ml may loose 10% of its activity after one week, I was wondering if it is okey regarding stability to keep 500ug/ml aliquots at -20ºC for several weeks.
1 answer-
As cited in the product listing and datasheet, this product in solution shows an approximate loss of activity of 10% when stored in aliquots at −20 °C for 1 week. Studies at lower dilutions have not been performed. Typically, solutions stored at higher concentrations are the most stable.

Is Kunitz unit same as unit here? I have seen some papers and they have U/ml for DNase. How can i conver it?
1 answer-
Product D5025, Deoxyribonuclease I is given in Kunitz units. This product is a powder. When reconstituting the product with a solution, for example 15,000 Kunitz units in 1 ml of 0.15 M NaCl the end-user will have 15,000 Kunitz units/ml.
