Researchers find that the DNA polymerase Taq is not as accurate as was once thought, giving new insight into the dynamics of DNA replication.

Taq polymerase is a celebrated hero. In the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify DNA, Taq is a widely used enzyme that assembles the complementary nucleotides along a single-stranded DNA ...

DNA polymerase: all PCR reactions require a DNA polymerase that can work at high temperatures. Taq polymerase is a commonly used one, which can incorporate nucleotides at a rate of 60 bases/second at ...

Polymerase chain reaction or PCR, which is a foundation of many techniques including DNA sequencing, relies on Taq. Reporting in Science Advances, researchers have now learned some surprising things ...

Empirical Bioscience, (formerly known as Syzygy Biotech™), a company that produces high-grade PCR reagents and enzymes, announced today that it has introduced FlashTaq Hot-Start Taq DNA Polymerase, a ...

Platinum II Taq Hot-Start DNA Polymerase is designed for fast co-cycling of the PCR assays by two innovative technologies. First, Taq enzyme is enginereered by in vitro evolution for faster DNA ...

The thermostability of Taq DNA polymerase is the critical feature that facilitated the development of PCR and ensured its commercial success.

The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) copies a single strand of DNA by first attaching primers. These are short fragments of synthetic DNA, designed to be complimentary to the original strand. The ...
