Description
General Description
Pfu-DNA-Polymerase is a proof-reading enzyme of 3’ to 5’ exonuclease activity and has high fidelity, High accuracy Proof-reading activity for the amplification of long DNA template.
Pfu DNA Polymerase is a highly thermostable DNA polymerase enzyme from the hyperthermophilic archaeum Pyrococcus furiosus that replicates DNA at 75°C. It catalyzes the polymerization of nucleotides into duplex DNA in the 5´→3´ direction in the presence of magnesium. The enzyme has a molecular weight of approximately 90,000 daltons as estimated from the predicted amino acid sequence and exhibits 3´→5´ exonuclease (proofreading) activity. Pfu DNA Polymerase is recommended for use in PCR and primer extension reactions that require high fidelity.
Applications:
- High fidelity PCR
- Generation of PCR products for cloning and expression
- RT-PCR for cDNA cloning and expression
- Generation of PCR product for blunt-end cloning
- Site-directed mutagenesis
