HomeDNA Modifying Enzymes and Cloning TechnologiesProductsKlenow Fragment (3'→5' exo-)

• Product Information

  Klenow Fragment (3´→ 5´ exo-) is an N-terminal truncation of DNA Polymerase I which retains polymerase activity, but has lost the 5´→ 3´ exonuclease activity and has mutations (D355A, E357A) which abolish the 3´→ 5´ exonuclease activity (1).

  Highlights

  • Isolated from a recombinant source
  • Generates probes using random primers
  • Dideoxy sequencing
  • Supplied with 10X Reaction Buffer
  • Moderate strand displacement activity

  • Product Notes

    1. Klenow Fragment (3´→ 5´ exo-) is not suitable for generating blunt ends because it lacks the 3´→ 5´ exonuclease necessary to remove non-templated 3´ additions.
    2. Klenow Fragment (3´→ 5´ exo-) is also active in all four NEBuffers when supplemented with dNTPs.
    3. When Klenow Fragment (3´→ 5´ exo-) is used to sequence DNA using the dideoxy method of Sanger et al., 1 unit/5 µl reaction volume is recommended.
