Description

Description: Pfu-X Core Kit contains all reagents required for PCR (except template and primer) in one box combining simple handling with high flexibility. The premium quality polymerase, ultrapure dNTPs and the optimized complete reaction buffer ensure superior amplification results.Pfu-X Polymerase is the ideal choice for applications where the efficient amplification of DNA with highest fidelity is required.The enzyme is a genetically engineered Pfu DNA polymerase, showing a 2-fold higher accuracy and an increased processivity, resulting in shorter elongation times.The enzyme catalyzes the polymerization of nucleotides into duplex DNA in 5' to 3' direction but does not possess a 5' to 3' exonuclease replacement activity. Its inherent 3' to 5' exonuclease proofreading activity results in a greatly increased fidelity of DNA synthesis compared to Taq polymerase. Pfu-X Polymerase-generated PCR fragments are blunt-ended.The enzyme is highly purified and free of bacterial DNA.Fidelity of the enzyme:Pfu-X Polymerase is characterized by a 50-fold higher fidelity compared to Taq polymerase and a 2-fold higher fidelity compared to standard Pfu polymerase.ERPfu-X Polymerase = 0.25 x 10-6The error rate (ER) of a PCR reaction is calculated using the equation ER = MF/(bp x d), where MF is the mutation frequency, bp is the number of base pairs of the fragment and d is the number of doublings(2d = amount of product / amount of template).
