Taq DNA Polymerase (with dNTPs)
Background:
Thermus aquaticus DNA polymerase (Taq DNA polymerase) was expressed in E. coli in large quantities and highly purified. The enzyme has thermostable DNA polymerase activity and the MW is 94 kDa.. This enzyme is suitable for PCR reactions; capable of amplifying DNA with various primers.
Application:
1) High-throughput PCR
2) Colony PCR
3) Incorporation of dUTP, dITP, and fluorescence-labeled
nucleotides
4) Primer extension
5) Addition of a single nucleotide (adenosine) at the
3�-blunt ends
