T4 DNA Polymerase (500u)

T4 DNA Polymerase catalyzes the 5´→3´ synthesis of DNA from a primed single-stranded DNA template. Although possessing a potent 3´→5´ proofreading exonuclease, T4 DNA Polymerase contains no 5´→3´ exonuclease activity. T4 DNA Polymerase can be used to fill 5´ protruding ends with labeled or unlabeled dNTPs or for the generation of blunt ends from DNA molecules with 3´ overhangs.

Features - Benefits

• High Fidelity: T4 DNA Polymerase is the enzyme of choice for applications where misincorporation is a concern.
• Flexible: T4 DNA Polymerase may be used in a variety of molecular applications. Active in many Promega 1X restriction enzyme buffers.
• May Be Heat-Inactivated: T4 DNA Polymerase is inactivated by heating at 75°C for 10 minutes.
• Provided with 10X Reaction Buffer: 250mM Tris-acetate (pH 7.7), 1M potassium acetate, 100mM magnesium acetate and 10mM DTT.
• Choose Your Configuration: Learn more about our custom options for this product at: www.promega.com/custom/

Applications

• Flush 5´ protruding ends with labeled or unlabeled dNTPs.
• Blunt 3´ overhangs.
• In vitro mutagenesis.
