Enzymes are crucial for speeding up slow chemical reactions. Anyone who has worked in a genetics lab is familiar with a common enzyme called Taq polymerase, because it's a reliable workhorse that can ...

The enzyme offers, fewer contamination issues and fast activation time. In fact, under standard hot start conditions it can be activated and the enzyme recovers both 5’-3’ polymerase and ...

One such enzyme is Taq polymerase (Taq), which takes its name from Thermos aquaticus, the microorganism it was first discovered in. Taq is a key enzyme in DNA replication and is regularly used in PCR, ...

Taq polymerase can be stable at temperatures as high as 95oC, making it ideal for PCR. Another commonly used organism is the Pfu DNA polymerase, found in the heat stable organism Pyrococcus furiosus .

Platinum II Taq Hot-Start DNA Polymerase is designed for fast co-cycling of the PCR assays by two innovative technologies. First, Taq enzyme is enginereered by in vitro evolution for faster DNA ...
