Due to its proofreading activity, the thermostable Pwo DNA Polymerase has an extremely low error rate, 18-fold lower compared to Taq DNA Polymerase. It is therefore ideal for applications that require the highest possible fidelity in DNA synthesis. It can be applied for High fidelity PCR

일반 설명
Pwo DNA Polymerase is a highly processive thermostable 5′-3′ DNA polymerase and possesses a 3′–5′ exonuclease activity, also known as proofreading activity. The enzyme has no detectable 5′–3′ exonuclease activity. Pwo DNA Polymerase exhibits increased thermal stability with a half-life of more than two hours at +100 °C, compared to Taq DNA Polymerase′s half-life of less than 5 minutes at this temperature. Pwo DNA Polymerase-generated PCR products are blunt-ended and can therefore be used directly for blunt-end ligation without any pretreatment of the ends.
