Taq DNA Polymerase, recombinant
Taq DNA Polymerase is a thermostable enzyme that synthesizes DNA from single-stranded templates in the presence of dNTPs and a primer. The enzyme consists of a single polypeptide with a molecular weight of 94 kDa. It has a 5´→3´ DNA polymerase activity and a 5´→3´ exonuclease activity.
With Life Technologies' Taq DNA Polymerase, you get:
• Your choice of recombinant or native enzyme
• Amplification of PCR products up to 5 kb in size
• An enzyme that is licensed and qualified for PCR
Applications
Taq DNA Polymerase is appropriate for use in the amplification of DNA from complex genomic, viral, and plasmid templates, RT-PCR, sequencing ssDNA, and cycle sequencing.
Source
Recombinant enzyme is purified from the cloned Thermus aquaticus DNA polymerase gene expressed in E. coli.
