HomeProductsDNA Polymerase I, Large (Klenow) Fragment

• Product Information

  DNA Polymerase I, Large (Klenow) Fragment is a proteolytic product of E. coli DNA Polymerase I which retains polymerization and 3'→ 5' exonuclease activity, but has lost 5'→ 3' exonuclease activity (1). Klenow retains the polymerization fidelity of the holoenzyme without degrading 5' termini.

  Highlights

  Product Source

  • Product Notes

    1. Protocol for blunting ends by 3' overhang removal and 3' recessed end fill-in:
       • DNA should be dissolved in 1X NEBuffer 1-4 or T4 DNA Ligase Reaction Buffer supplemented with 33 μM each dNTP. Add 1 unit DNA Polymerase I, Large (Klenow) Fragment per microgram DNA and incubate 15 minutes at 25°C. Stop reaction by adding EDTA to a final concentration of 10 mM and heating at 75°C for 20 minutes.
    2. Elevated temperatures, excessive amounts of enzyme, failure to supplement with dNTPs or long reaction times may result in recessed ends due to the 3´→ 5´ exonuclease activity of the enzyme.
    3. When DNA Polymerase I, Large (Klenow) Fragment is used to sequence DNA using the dideoxy method of Sanger et al., 1 unit/5 μl reaction volume is recommended.
    4. DNA Polymerase I, Large (Klenow) Fragment is also active in all four NEBuffers and T4 DNA Ligase Reaction Buffer when supplemented with dNTPs.

• FAQs & Troubleshooting

  • FAQs

    1. Which DNA polymerase can I use to blunt DNA?
    2. Can I use a DNA polymerase to fill in 3' overhangs or remove 5' overhangs?
    3. How can I heat inactivate this DNA polymerase?
    4. Can this DNA polymerase be used in labeling and partial fill reactions?
    5. What are the main causes of blunting reaction failure?
    6. Can this DNA polymerase be used in other NEBuffers for filling in or blunting overhangs?

  • Tech Tips

    Excess enzyme, temperatures above 25°C, or limited dNTP concentrations can cause excessive 3’ ? 5’ exonuclease degradation, which eliminates blunt end formation.
