Super Reverse Transcriptase MuLV (Super RT)

Murine Leukemia Virus Reverse Transcriptase (MuLV RT) is an RNA-dependent DNA polymerase that can be used in cDNA synthesis with long messenger RNA templates (>5 Kbp). The enzyme is isolated from E.coli expressing the modified pol gene of MuLV on a plasmid. This modified version of RT is thermotolerant (working temp 42 – 52⁰C using ng level of total RNA). The RNase H activity of MuLV RT is weaker than the commonly used AMV- Reverse Transcriptase.
