DescriptionPfu 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.ApplicationsHigh fidelity PCR.Generation of PCR products for cloning and expression.RT-PCR for cDNA cloning and expression.Blunt-end PCR cloning (1).Site-directed mutagenesis.Quality ControlThe absence of endo- and exodeoxyribonucleases confirmed by appropriate quality tests. Functionally tested in PCR.
