Thermo Scientific™ Pfu DNA Polymerase
Optimize PCR applications requiring high fidelity with this highly thermostable DNA polymerase.
Brand: Thermo Scientific™ EP0571
Description
Pfu DNA Polymerase is a highly thermostable DNA polymerase from the hyperthermophilic archaeum Pyrococcus furiosus. The enzyme catalyzes the template-dependent polymerization of nucleotides into duplex DNA in the 5’→3’ direction. Pfu DNA Polymerase also exhibits 3’→5’ exonuclease (proofreading) activity that enables the polymerase to correct nucleotide incorporation errors. It has no 5’→3’ exonuclease activity.
Highlights
- Eight times more accurate than Taq DNA polymerase
- Highly thermostable – remains 95% active after 2 hours incubation at 95°C
- Generates blunt-end PCR products
- Incorporates modified nucleotides (e.g., biotin-, digoxigenin-, fluorescently-labeled nucleotides)
- Increased PCR yields with native Pfu DNA Polymerase
