  • Enhanced incorporation of modified nucleotides, especially ribonucleotides
  • Isolated from recombinant source
  • Supplied with 10X Reaction Buffer
Description:
Therminator™ II DNA Polymerase is a 9°N™ DNA Polymerase variant with an enhanced ability to incorporate modified substrates such as dideoxynucleotides, ribonucleotides and acyclonucleotides (1,2).

Therminator II DNA Polymerase was derived from Therminator DNA Polymerase and differs in having one additional amino acid change. This change allows more efficient incorporation of ribonucleotides (1) and nucleotides with modified 3´ functional groups (3).

Source:
An E. coli strain that carries the 9°N A485L/Y409V (exo-) DNA Polymerase gene, a genetically engineered form of the native DNA polymerase from Thermococcus species 9°N-7.

Applications:
  • DNA sequencing by partial ribosubstitution (4)
  • DNA sequencing using dideoxy (5) or acyclo (6) chain terminators
  • SNP analysis with dideoxy or acyclo chain terminators (7)
Reagents Supplied:
ThermoPol Reaction Buffer (10X)

Quality Control for Current Lot


Quality control values for a specific lot can be found on the datacard which accompanies each product.

Quality Assurance Statement:
Purified free of contaminating endonucleases and exonucleases.

Exonuclease Activity:
Incubation of a 50 μl reaction containing 8 units of Therminator™ II DNA Polymerase with 1 μg of a mixture of single and double-stranded [3H] E. coli DNA (205 cpm/μg) for 4 hours at 75ºC released < 0.1% of the total radioactivity.

Endonuclease Activity:
Incubation of a 50 μl reaction containing 8 units of Therminator™ II DNA Polymerase with 1 μg of ΦX174 RF I DNA for 4 hours at 75ºC resulted in < 10% conversion to RFII as determined by agarose gel electrophoresis.
