Accumulated evidence suggests not only protein-conjugated poly(ADP-ribose) but also protein-free poly(ADP-ribose) function in various physiological processes. There are increasing occasions that require protein-free poly(ADP-ribose) to study the function and dynamics of poly(ADP-ribose) in cells. However, the availability of poly(ADP-ribose) is still limited because a chemical synthesis method has not been established. Here, we describe an improved method for the preparation of protein-free poly(ADP-ribose), synthesized enzymatically by using a recombinant PARP-1 expression system and purified with an anion-exchange column chromatography. This method will be useful for biochemical and biological investigation of poly(ADP-ribose) functions and dynamics.Read More
