Taq DNA Polymerase is a thermostable DNA polymerase that possesses a 5´→3´ polymerase activity and a 5´→3´ exonuclease activity. Taq DNA Polymerase is the most common polymerase used for PCR.
Applications
Regular PCR amplification
Primer Extension
DNA Sequencing
Key Features
Terminal Transferase Activity: Taq DNA Polymerase has terminal transferase activity which results in the addition of a single nucleotide (adenosine) at the 3′ end of the extension product.
High purity: No contamination activity has been detected in standard test reactions.
