Meridian’s 55C MMLV-RT is a highly robust, thermostable reverse transcriptase, ideal for cDNA synthesis from RNA with a high secondary structure such as viral RNA genomes.
Traditional Moloney Murine Leukemia Virus Reverse Transcriptase (MMLV-RT) is not thermostable and can only maintain its enzymatic activity at relatively low temperatures (up to 50°C). However, for cDNA synthesis, a higher reaction temperature is sometimes desirable as it reduces RNA secondary structures which can inhibit reverse transcription and it minimizes nonspecific primer binding. 55C MMLV-RT is a highly thermostable reverse transcriptase with reduced RNase H activity, that allows very efficient first-strand cDNA synthesis at temperatures up to 60°C. This improves the cDNA yield from difficult RNA targets, such as viral RNA genomes, that require higher temperature to denature strong RNA secondary structure.
