The Ribo m7G Cap Analog can be used with the Riboprobe® Systems and the RiboMAX™ Large Scale RNA Production Systems to prepare RNA transcripts with 5´ m7G cap structures. These cap structures provide an anchor for attachment of cap binding protein (translation initiation factor or eIF4E), thus facilitating translation.
