Description
Diamant TaqAF DNA Polymerase is a recombinant Taq polymerase with dual aptamer/chemical inactivation. Diamant TaqAF DNA Polymerase has a high inactivation level and shows no activity after its incubation for 1 hour at 60°С. Enzyme is activated by 15 min incubation step at 95°C. This prevents the extension of non-specifically annealed primers and primer-dimers formed at low temperatures during the PCR setup. Additional aptameric inactivation increased reproducibility in diagnostic applications and stability under storage.
The enzyme catalyses the template-dependent polymerization of nucleotides into duplex DNA in the 5’→3’ direction and also exhibits 5’ exonuclease activity.
