SmarTaq™Purified
from an E.coli strain carrying a plasmid with the cloned
high expression gene encoding Thermus aquaticus DNA polymerase.
Taq DNA polymerase catalyzes 5'—3' synthesis of DNA.
The enzyme has no detectable 3'—5' proofreading exonuclease
activity but possesses low 5'—3' exonuclease activity.
The enzyme consists of a single polypeptide molecule weighting
approximately 94kDa.
