Description: Therminator™ γ (gamma) DNA Polymerase is a 9°Nm™ DNA polymerase variant with an enhanced ability to incorporate gamma-phosphate labeled dNTPs.
Source: Therminator γ DNA Polymerase is purified from a strain of E. coli that carries the 9°N (D141A / E143A / W355A / L408W / R460A / Q461S / K464E / D480V / R484W / A485L) DNA Polymerase gene, a genetically engineered form of the native DNA polymerase from Thermococcus species 9°N-7. Developed by LI-COR® Biosciences and derived from Therminator.
Applications:
Incorporation of modified nucleotides into DNA
DNA sequencing using gamma-phosphate modified nucleotides
