BLM inhibitor 2 is a specific inhibitor of BLM (Bloom syndrome protein) ATPase-coupled DNA helicase activity (IC50=2.2 uM) via the allosteric binding site.BLM inhibitor 2 displays high selectivity over members of the RecQ-helicase family in ATP-turnover assays, including recombinant helicase domains (HD) from human WRN, human RecQ5 or E. coli helicase UvrD, and human RecQ1.BLM inhibitor 2 is a non-competitive inhibitor, does not interfere with ATP-binding, unliker ML216.BLM inhibitor 2 inhibits production of the single-stranded DNA product in a dose-dependent manner (IC50=1.8 uM) via inhibition of the helicase activity of BLM-HD.BLM (Bloom syndrome protein) is a RECQ-family helicase involved in the dissolution of complex DNA structures and repair intermediates (BLM, WRN, RECQ1, RECQ4, and RECQ5 in humans).

Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 24 months.
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.
