Product Description

Avam® ssDNA Binding Protein (E. coli) selectively binds single-stranded DNA, forming tetramers of four identical 18.9 kDa subunits, providing protection to 8-16 nucleotides. Primarily involved in DNA replication, recombination, and repair processes in nature, this protein enhances specific DNA polymerase-mediated reactions in vitro by relaxing DNA secondary structure and boosting enzyme processivity. Its ability to bind single-stranded DNA effectively allows for the stabilization of DNA regions, minimizing secondary structure formation and facilitating the fidelity of DNA polymerase during replication and amplification processes. Supplied in a buffer solution containing 50 mM Tris-HCl, 200 mM NaCl, 1.0 mM DTT, 0.1 mM EDTA, and 50% glycerol, pH 7.5 at 25°C, this protein is a versatile tool for various molecular biology applications, aiding in the manipulation and analysis of DNA molecules with enhanced precision and efficiency.
