Brand

DNA Polymerase I, Klenow Fragment

DNA Polymerase I, Klenow Fragment (Large Fragment) is a proteolytic product of E. coli DNA Polymerase I, which possesses the 5’→3′ polymerase and 3’→5′ exonuclease activities of intact DNA Polymerase I, but lacks the 5’→3′ exonuclease activity of full-length DNA Polymerase I. The lack of 5’→3′ exonuclease activity enables the DNA Polymerase I, Klenow Fragment to be used in random primer labeling and DNA sequencing experiments in addition to second-strand cDNA synthesis. The enzyme is supplied in a buffer of 50 mM potassium phosphate (pH 6.5), 1 mmDTT and 50% glyerol (2140A/B) or ethylene glycol (2140AK/BK).

Applications

  • Random primer labeling
  • Second-strand cDNA synthesis
  • Dideoxy DNA sequencing
  • 2140AK/BK are sequencing grade reagents

Buffer

Supplied with 10X Reaction Buffer [100 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 70 mM MgCl2 and 1 mM DTT].

Concentration

  • 2140A/B: 2–5 U/µl
  • 2140AK/BK: 2 U/µl
