Klenow Fragment exo- (3’→5′ exo-)

Description

Klenow Fragment exo- (3’→5′ exo-) is a product of E. coli DNA Polymerase I which lacks the N-terminal 324 amino acids. This enzyme lacks the 5’→ 3′ exonuclease activity of intact DNA Polymerase I, and has mutations (D355A, E357A) which abolish the 3´→ 5´ exonuclease activity but does exhibit the 5’→ 3′ DNA polymerase activity (1). These characteristics make the enzyme useful for several molecular biology applications such as:

• Recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) assay
• Di-deoxy sequencing (2)
• Second strand cDNA synthesis
• Second strand synthesis in mutagenesis (3)
• Single-stranded DNA probes generation

Protein Purity
The physical purity of this enzyme is ≥99% as assessed by SDS-PAGE with Coomassie® blue staining.
