Taq DNA Polymerase (Recombinant)

Taq DNA Polymerase (Recombinant) is a thermostable enzyme of approximately 94kDa isolated from Thermus aquaticus. This unmodified enzyme replicates DNA at 74°C and exhibits a half-life of 40 minutes at 95°C . Taq DNA Polymerase (Recombinant) 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. Unit Definition: One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme required to catalyze the incorporation of 10nmol of dNTP into acid-insoluble material in 30 minutes at 74C.
