Taq DNA Polymerase
(Cat. No.: E001)
Description:
Taq DNA Polymerase is a thermostable
enzyme of approximately 94kDa isolated
from Thermus aquaticus. This unmodified
enzyme replicates DNA at 74oC
and exhibits a half-life of 40 minutes
at 95oC . The enzyme
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.
Source:
Thermus aquaticus YT1.
Features:
Depend on an Enzyme That Works:

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
74oC. The reaction conditions
are: 50mM Tris-HCl (pH 9.0 at 25oC),
50mM NaCl, 5mM MgCl2, 200µM
each of dATP, dCTP, dGTP, dTTP (a mix of
unlabeled and [3H]dTTP), 10µg
activated calf thymus DNA and 0.1mg/ml
BSA in a final volume of 50µl.
Quality Control Tests:
PCR (activity), SDS-PAGE
(purity), endonuclease/nickase.
Storage:
Taq DNA polymerase in 20mM
Tris-HCl, pH 8.0, 100mM KCl, 0.1mM EDTA,
5mM DTT, 50% glycerol, 0.5% NP40 and
0.5% Tween 20 should be stored at -20oC.
10X Reaction Buffer:
10X Reaction Buffer with MgCl2:
500mM KCl, 100mM Tris-HCl (pH 9.0 at 25oC),
1% Triton X-100 and 15mM MgCl2.
Buffer is optimized for use with 0.2mM
of each dNTP.
10X Reaction Buffer without
MgCl2: 500mM KCl, 100mM
Tris-HCl (pH 9.0 at 25oC) and
1% Triton X-100. include: 10X Reaction
Buffer without MgCl2 and
separate 25mM MgCl2 Solution.
