DESCRIPTION
Klenow Fragment is a proteolytic product of intact DNA polymerase I which retains 5'¡æ3' DNA polymerase and 3'¡æ5' exonuclease activity but lacks 5'¡æ3' exonuclease activity.
SOURCE
Recombinant E. coli strain.
APPLICATIONS
¡Ü DNA sequencing by the Sanger dideoxy method.
¡Ü Filling-in and/or labeling of recessed 3'-ends.
¡Ü Second strand cDNA synthesis.
¡Ü End-labeling of DNA molecules with protruding 3'
tails.
¡Ü Synthesis of dsDNA from ssDNA templates
during in vitro mutagenesis.
UNIT DEFINITION
One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme required to catalyze the incorporation of 10nmol of dNTPs into acid-insoluble form in 30 minutes at 37¡É.
