| Synonyms |
DNA polymerase I thermostable, EC 2.7.7.7, Taq polymerase 1. |
| Description |
Taq DNA Polymerase(a) is a thermostable enzyme of approximately 94 kDa isolated from Thermus aquaticus. This unmodified enzyme replicates DNA at 74°C and exhibits a half-life of 40 minutes at 95°C. The enzyme catalyzes the polymerization of nucleotides into duplex DNA in the 5´~3´ direction in the presence of magnesium and also possesses a 5´~3´ exonuclease activity. Taq DNA Polymerase is recommended for use in PCR but is not recommended for use in DNA sequencing reactions. |
| Source |
Recombinant e.coli contains Thermus aquaticus polymerase gene. |
| Formulation |
Taq DNA Polymerase solution in 20mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0, 100mM KCl, 0.1mM EDTA, 5mM DTT, 50% Glycerol, 0.5% NP40, 0.5% Tween 20. |
| Unit Definition |
One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme required to catalyze the incorporation of 10nmol of dNTP into acid-insoluble material in 30 minutes at 74°C. The reaction conditions are: 50mM Tris-HCl (pH 9.0 at 25°C), 50mM NaCl, 5mM MgCl2, 200μm each of dATP, dCTP, dGTP, dTTP (a mix of unlabeled and [3H]dTTP), 10?g activated calf thymus DNA and 0.1mg/ml BSA in a final volume of 50ul. 10X Reaction Buffer with MgCl2500mM KCl, 100mM Tris-HCl (pH 9.0 at 25C), 1% Triton X-100 and 15mM MgCl2. Buffer is optimized for use with 0.2mM of each dNTP. |
