1M Magnesium chloride solution is mainly used in molecular biology for preparation and propagation bacteriophage lambda and in PCR reactions and buffers to supply magnesium
1M Magnesium chloride solution is widely used in molecular biology. Magnesium plays an important role in enzymology, muscle cell physiology and in nucleic acid structure. Magnesium is an essential cofactor for many enzymes, e.g. DNase, restriction enzymes EcoRI and EcoRV and RNase H. It is also used for prpearation and propagation of bacteriophage lambda.
