Pfu DNA Polymerase
Opis
Pfu/Psp DNA polymerase generated PCR fragments exhibits the lowest error rate of any thermostable DNA polymerases. The fragments are blunt-ended for direct ligation
Features
Pfu/Psp DNA polymerase replicates DNA at 75°C catalyzing the polymerization of nucleotides into duplex DNA in the 5´=>3´ direction in the presence of Mg+. Pfu DNA polymerase possesses 3' to 5' exonuclease proof reading activity that enables the polymerase to correct nucleotide-misincorporation errors. The enzyme has no 5'=>3' exonuclease activity.
Applications
- Blunt end PCR cloning
- PCR and primer extension where "high fidelity" is required
- Site-directed mutagenesis
Description
Pfu/Psp DNA polymerase, isolated from the archae bacteria Pyrococcus furiosus/species is a thermostable Polymerase of approximately 90000 daltons. Base misinsertions that may occur during polymerization are rapidly excised by the proofreading activity of the polymerase. The Pfu DNA Polymerase has no detectable reverse transcriptase activity.
