Description:Pfu DNA Polymerase is a highly thermostable DNA polymerase from the hyperthermophilic archaeum Pyrococcus furiosus. The enzyme catalyzes the template-dependent polymerization of nucleotides into duplex DNA in the 5\'->3\' direction. Pfu DNA Polymerase also exhibits 3\'->5\' exonuclease (proofreading) activity, that enables the polymerase to correct nucleotide incorporation errors. It has no 5\'->3\' exonuclease activity. The main difference between Pfu and alternative enzymes is Pfu\'s superior thermostability and \'proofreading\' properties. Unlike Taq DNA polymerase, Pfu DNA polymerase also possesses 3\'->5\' exonuclease proofreading activity, resulting in PCR fragments with fewer errors than Taq-generated PCR inserts. Pfu DNA polymerase is efficient for techniques that require high-fidelity DNA synthesis, but can also be used in conjunction with Taq polymerase to obtain the fidelity of Pfu with the speed of Taq polymerase activity.Application:- High-fidelity PCR and primer-extension reactions- Generation of PCR products for cloning and expression- PCR cloning and blunt-end amplification product generation- RT-PCR for cDNA cloning and expression- Site-directed mutagenesis- Blunt-end PCR cloningSource:Thermostable DNA polymerase from hyperthermophilic archaeon pyrococcus furiosus.Unit Definition:One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme required to catalyze the incorporation of 10 nmol of dNTPs into acid insoluble material in 30 minutes at 74°C under standard DNA polymerase assay conditions.Supplied With:10x Pfu Reaction Buffer (with dNTPs)
