Unique, thermostable polymerase for isothermal amplification and PCR.
SD Polymerase is a novel, artificial polymerase with a strong strand displacement activity and heat stability up to 93°C. With SD Polymerase, the possibilities of isothermal amplification and regular PCR can be combined.
Natural enzymes with a strong strand displacement activity, such as Phi29 or Bst Polymerase, are active below 68°C only. With the high heat stability of SD Polymerase, the efficiency of isothermal amplification can be enhanced by initial denaturation steps to increase the accessibility of single strands. The initial heating-up improves the specificity in applications such as LAMP, library generation, PCDR, WGA and standard PCR.
SD Polymerase is suitable for high GC-content and difficult targets. Long Range PCR can be performed with target sizes up to 30 kb.
This enzyme has 5'-3' polymerase and 5'-3' strand displacement activities, as well as 3'-A-overhangs. It does not have any exonuclease activity.
