Description

Intact Genomics T4 DNA Polymerase has both a DNA-dependent DNA polymerase activity and a potent 3´→5´ exonuclease activity.  

The purity of this enzyme is > 95% homogeneity as determined by SDS-PAGE using Coomassie® Blue staining.

Product Source: E.coli cells with a cloned gene of bacteriophage T4 DNA Polymerase.

Applications

  • 3´-overhang removal to form blunt ends (1, 2).
  • 5´-overhang fill-in to form blunt ends (1, 2).
  • Probe labeling using replacement synthesis (2).
  • DNA library preparation for Next-generation sequencing.
  • Ligation-independent cloning of PCR products.
  • Second strand synthesis in site-directed mutagenesis (3).
