Sau DNA Polymerase Large Fragment

Product Description

Sau DNA Polymerase I, Large Fragment is a product of the Staphylococcus aureus DNA polymerase I which lacks the N-terminal exonuclease domain (1-293 amino acids). It retains the 5´→ 3´ polymerase activity of DNA polymerase I but lacks the 5´→ 3´ exonuclease activity. This large fragment also lacks 3´→ 5´ exonuclease activity.

Applications

• Strand displacement DNA synthesis (1)
• Random primer labeling
• Second strand cDNA synthesis
• dA-tailing

Protein Purity

The physical purity of this enzyme is ≥99% as assessed by SDS-PAGE with Coomassie® blue staining (see figure below).
