Taq DNA Polymerase

Taq DNA Ploymerase is cloned version of Taq DNA Polymerase which is expressed in E. coli. This recombinant Taq DNA Polymerase shows identical characteristics to native Taq from Thermus aquaticus with respect to activity, specificity, thermostability and performance in PCR. Taq DNA Polymerase catalyzes the incorporation of dNTPs into DNA. It requires a DNA template, a primer terminus, and the divalent cation Mg++. Taq DNA Polymerase contains a polymerization dependent 5′-3′ exonuclease activity. It does not have a 3′-5′ exonuclease and thus no proof-reading function. Despite this, the enzyme synthesizes DNA in vitro with reasonable fidelity.
