High Fidelity & efficient & fast DNA polymerase
Code No. KOD-401
*This product is not available in the U.S. and Europe.
KOD -Plus- Neo is based on a DNA polymerase from the hyperthermophilic Archaeon Thermococcus kodakaraensis KOD1(1) (2). This polymerase exhibits excellent PCR fidelity because of its efficient 3'→5' exonuclease activity (proof reading activity). This product contains a unique "elongation enhancer" that suppresses the "plateau effect" produced by conventional PCR. Therefore, this reagent exhibits greater amplification efficiency and elongation capability compared to the previous version of KOD -Plus- (Code No. KOD-201).
Moreover, this enzyme requires only 30 sec/kb for the PCR extension step. This facilitates the long range PCR.
This enzyme contains two anti-KOD DNA polymerase antibodies that inhibit polymerase and 3'→5' exonuclease activity, thus allowing for Hot Start PCR(3). This polymerase generates blunt-end PCR products due to 3'→5' exonuclease (proof-reading) activity.
Mutation frequency
(Number of misincorporated bases/100,000 bases)
*Mutation frequency was measured by sequence analysis of human β-globin gene products amplified from human genomic DNA via TA cloning.
