T4 DNA Polymerase

T4 DNA Polymerase catalyzes the synthesis of DNA in the 5´→ 3´ direction and requires the presence of template and primer. This enzyme has a 3´→ 5´ exonuclease activity which is much more active than that found in DNA Polymerase I. Unlike E. coli DNA Polymerase I, T4 DNA Polymerase does not have a 5´→ 3´ exonuclease function. Source: Purified from a strain of E. coli that carries a T4 DNA Polymerase overproducing plasmid.

Application Area:

DNA purification

It is easy to use, the protocol is simple and quick. DNA purification can be used in a wide area of research, could led to finding potential protein that is coded from DNA.

Application Area:

leukemia genetics

I use this for sub cloning PCR product. It's always reliable and powerful enough to get enough yield. Efficiency seems more time-dependent, sometimes I get low yield when I incubate just for a short time < 1hr.
