Taq DNA Polymerase is a highly thermostable DNA polymerase isolated from the thermophile, Thermus aquaticus. Taq DNA polymerase catalyzes the 5’→3’ synthesis of DNA. The enzyme has no detectable 3’→5’ proofreading exonuclease activity, and possesses low 5’→3’ exonuclease activity. The Taq polymerase is able to amplify DNA up to 6kb that have a single adenine 3’ overhang. The error rate of this Taq polymerase is ~2.2x10-5 nucleotide-1 cycle-1.
Our Taq DNA Polymerase is offered in four convenient sizes and supplied with 10X PCR buffer and magnesium chloride.
