Taq Polymerase

SKU: orb1821437

Description

The polymerase is recommended for routine PCR applications (up to 4 kb fragment length) or high throughput PCR. The enzyme replicates DNA at 72 °C. It catalyzes the polymerization of nucleotides into duplex DNA in 5'→3' direction in the presence of magnesium. It also possesses a 5'→3' polymerization-dependent exonuclease replacement activity but lacks a 3'→5' exonuclease (proof-reading) activity.
