General description

This polymerase mix contains Taq polymerase containing an N-terminal deletion combined with a small amount of a proofreading polymerase to improve sequence fidelity and length of amplified DNA.

Application

KlenTaq® LA DNA Polymerase Mix has been used to perform polymerase chain reaction (PCR). It has also been used to amplify FRD3 alleles from genomic DNA.

Biochem/physiol Actions

KlenTaq® LA DNA Polymerase provides an excellent alternative to Taq DNA Polymerase for intermediate length products. It allows higher yields and greater fidelity (up to 4× that of Taq). It can amplify genomic DNA up to 5 kb or less complex DNA targets such as bacterial, viral targets or cDNA up to 20 kb. With its increased thermostability, it is the ideal choice for amplifying GC-rich regions or templates with difficult secondary structure.

Features and Benefits

  • KlenTaq LA DNA Polymerase has increased thermostability and processivity, resulting in increased yields
  • Amplify difficult structure or GC-rich templates. The increased thermostability allows higher temperature conditions to disrupt difficult secondary structures
  • Increased fidelity at up to 4× higher than that of Taq DNA polymerase
  • Tolerance to a broad range of magnesium concentrations eliminates the need to optimize MgCl2
  • Amplify up to 5 kb genomic targets and up to 20 kb on less complex targets, such as lambda DNA

Packaging

KlenTaq LA DNA polymerase is provided with an optimized 10× reaction buffer.

Other Notes

KlenTaq LA DNA Polymerase Mix is an optimized mixture combining KlenTaq-1 with a proofreading enzyme. KlenTaq-1 is a Klenow-fragment analog of Taq DNA Polymerase. It has no endonuclease or exonuclease activity, but is more thermostable than Taq or other terminal deletions of Taq. Since a wide range of magnesium concentration is tolerated by this enzyme, generally no magnesium optimization is needed. The proofreading polymerase provides the 3′→5′ exonuclease activity that is necessary for longer and higher fidelity products.

Unit Definition

One unit will incorporate 10 nmol of total dNTPs into acid precipitable DNA in 30 min. at 74 °C.
