Klein Taq DNA Polymerase




Klein Taq DNA Polymerase                         BIORON














KleinTaq is a derivative of Taq DNA polymerase. It is a








5'-exo-minus N-terminally truncated Thermus aquaticus DNA








polymerase. As expressed from a gene construct in E.coli,








translation initiates at Met236, bypassing the 5'-3' exonuclease








domain of the DNA polymerase-encoding gene.











The enzyme reveals a highly active and even more heat-stable DNA





polymerase activity in comparison with Taq DNA polymerase. The





optimal range of Mg2+ concentration for KleinTaq is broader than for






the majority of thermostable polymerases. This feature allows to





optimize reaction conditions easier then for other polymerases.




Repeated exposure to 98°C does not diminish the enzyme activity.



Significant activity remains even after exposure to 99°C.
