| Product description | Taq DNA Polymerase(a) is a thermostable enzyme of approximately 95 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.Depend on an Enzyme That Works: Compositions of the storage buffers have been optimized to assure quality performance of the enzyme under a variety of conditions. |
| Source | Recombinant e.coli contains Thermus aquaticus polymerase gene. |
| SwissProt ID | P19821 |
| Storage Buffer | Compatibility with Reaction Buffers: Taq DNA Polymerase in Storage Buffer. Use of other reaction buffers that do not contain Triton X-100 (final concentration of 0.1%) will result in inactivation of the enzyme. |
