DNA Polymerase I, Large (Klenow) Fragment
NEB2 cloned at NEB recombinant 25 75 Heat

Product Introduction

DNA Polymerase I, Large (Klenow) fragment was originally derived as a proteolytic product of E.coli DNA polymerase that retains polymerase and 3’ —> 5’ exonuclease activity

  • Removal of 3’ overhangs or fill-in of 5’ overhangs to form blunt ends
  • Lacks 5’ —> 3’ exonuclease activity
  • Generates probes using random primers
  • Second strand cDNA synthesis

Tech Tips

Excess enzyme, temperatures above 25°C, or limited dNTP concentrations can cause excessive 3’ ? 5’ exonuclease degradation, which eliminates blunt end formation.
