Product Description

The Avam® Klenow Fragment (3′→5′ exonuclease) enzyme provides a versatile solution for various molecular biology applications, characterized by its unique features and robust performance. Derived from DNA polymerase I, this fragment exhibits a deficiency in both proofreading (3′→5′) and nick-translation (3′→5′) nuclease activities, making it ideal for specific molecular biology techniques.

The enzyme retains its 3′→5′ DNA polymerase activity, ensuring efficient DNA synthesis, while lacking proofreading and nick-translation activities, which can be advantageous for certain applications. Its moderate strand displacement activity during DNA synthesis further enhances its utility in various experimental setups.

Supplied in a convenient formulation containing 20 mM Tris-HCl, 1 mM DTT, 0.1 mM EDTA, and 50% glycerol, the Avam® Klenow Fragment (3′→5′ exonuclease) is readily accessible for use in molecular biology laboratories. Additionally, it comes with a 10X Blue Buffer containing essential components such as NaCl, Tris-HCl, MgCl2, and DTT, ensuring optimal enzyme performance under diverse experimental conditions.

Performance-wise, the Avam® Klenow Fragment (3 exonuclease) demonstrates high purity (>90%) and specific activity (10,000 U/mg), along with minimal contaminating activities such as single-stranded and double stranded exonuclease, endonuclease, and E. coli DNA contamination, ensuring reliable and reproducible results.

The enzyme’s principle lies in its unique biochemical properties, where it lacks the 5′→3′ exonuclease activity present in DNA polymerase I, making it suitable for applications where this activity is undesirable. Instead, it retains the 5′→3′ polymerase activity and 3′→5′ exonuclease activity, essential for DNA synthesis and removal of precoding nucleotides, respectively.

Notably, the Avam® Klenow Fragment (3′→5′ exonuclease) finds widespread use in molecular biology serving as a preferred choice for DNA labeling, dA-tailing, and dT-tailing for next-generation sequencing adapter ligation. Additionally, it finds applications in dideoxy DNA sequencing, cDNA second shand synthesis, and site-directed DNA mutagenesis, underscoring its versatility and significance in various experimental setups.
