  • Description

    Pfu DNA Polymerase is a themostable enzyme with a molecular weight of approximately 90 kDa. It catalyzes the polymerization of nucleotides into duplex DNA in the 5'-3' direction in the presence of magnesium and it also exhibits 3'-5' exonuclease (proofreading) activity, resulting in blunt-ended PCR products without 3'-dA overhanges. Pfu DNA Polymerase is recommended for use in PCR and primer extension reactions that require high-fidelity DNA synthesis.
  • Kit Contents

  • Applications

    High fidelity DNA amplification, such as DNA sequencing, gene expression & cloning, gene site-directed mutagenesis, SNP, end repairing, etc.
  • Storage Condition

    -30~-15°C for two years.
  • Important Notes

    ● The extension of Pfu DNA Polymerase is about 500-1000 bp/min normally. Because Pfu DNA Polymerase with 3’-5’ exonulease activity may degrade the primers, it should be added later than other components, and immediately go to PCR step.

    ● As Pfu DNA Polymerase has superior thermostability compared to Taq DNA Polymerase, for high-GC templates, temperature of denaturation can be increased to 98°C, which doesn’t have any influence on Pfu DNA Polymerase’s activity.

  • Storage Buffer

    50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.2), 0.1 mM EDTA, 1 mM DTT, Stabilizers, 50% Glycerol.

  • Quality Control

    Purity up to standard by SDS-PAGE assay. No exogenous nuclease activity is detected. Single copy gene in human genome could be amplified effectively. No significant activity change when stored at room temperature (15-30°C) for one week.
  • Unit Definition

    One unit of Pfu DNA Polymerase is defined as the amount that incorporates 10 nmol of dNTPs into acid-insoluble material within 30 min at 74°C with activated salmon sperm DNA as the template/primer.
