Pfu DNA Polymerase

• Cat.No.: CMC08

Specification

• Cat. No.: CMC08
• Description: Pfu DNA Polymerase is a thermostable enzyme of approximately 90kDa purified from the expression product of E. coli strain that carries the Pfu DNA Polymerase gene from Pyrococcus furiosus strain Vc1 DSM3638. The enzyme replicates DNA at 75°C, catalyzing the polymerization of nucleotides into duplex DNA in the 5´→3´ direction in the presence of magnesium. Pfu DNA Polymerase also possesses 3´→5´ exonuclease (proofreading) activity. Base misinsertions that may occur during polymerization are rapidly excised by the proofreading activity of the polymerase. Consequently, Pfu DNA Polymerase is recommended for use in PCR and primer extension reactions that require high-fidelity synthesis. Pfu DNA Polymerase-generated PCR fragments are blunt-ended.
• Source: E. coli strain that carries the Pfu DNA Polymerase gene from Pyrococcus furiosus strain Vc1 DSM3638.
