DETAILS
Description (English)
Biochem/physiol Actions
Ethidium bromide intercalates double-stranded DNA and RNA and acts as a frameshift mutagen. It can also be used in conjunction with acridine orange to differentiate between viable, apoptotic and necrotic cells.
Reconstitution
For staining a gel after electrophoresis, dilute a sample of the stock solution to 0.5 μg/ml with water and incubate the gel for 15-30 min. Destaining is usually not needed but can be carried out in water for 15 min if decreased background is necessary. The DNA bands can then be detected on a UV light box (254 nm wavelength). Ethidium bromide can also be incorporated into the gel and running buffer at 0.5 μg/ml and visualized immediately after electrophoresis.
Application
Ethidium bromide (EtBr) is the most commonly used nucleic acid stain for PAGE or agarose gel electrophoresis. The fluorescence of EtBr increases 21-fold upon binding to double-stranded RNA and 25-fold on binding double-stranded DNA so that destaining the background is not necessary with a low stain concentration (10 μg/ml). Ethidium bromide has been used in a number of fluorimetric assays for nucleic acids.1,2,3 It has been shown to bind to single-stranded DNA (although not as strongly) and triple-stranded DNA.4 Because of its ability to bind to DNA, EtBr is an inhibitor of DNA polymerase.5Frameshift mutagen which intercalates double-stranded DNA and RNA.

Biochem/physiol Actions
溴化乙啶可插入双链 DNA 和 RNA 中,并作为移码诱变剂。它还可与吖啶橙结合用于区分存活的、凋亡的和坏死的细胞。
Reconstitution
对于在电泳后进行凝胶染色,应先用水将储存液样品稀释到 0.5μg/ml,再将凝胶孵育 15-30 分钟。通常无需脱色,但是如果必须降低背景色,则可在水中脱色 15 分钟。然后可在紫外灯箱(254nm 波长)中检测 DNA 条带。也可将溴化乙啶加到凝胶和电泳缓冲液(终浓度 0.5μg/ml)中,并在电泳后立即显影。
