Descrição:
Pfu-X Polymerase is the ideal choice for applications where the efficient amplification of DNA with highest fidelity is required. The enzyme is a genetically engineered Pfu DNA polymerase, but showing a 2-fold higher accuracy and an increased processivity, resulting in shorter elongation times.
The enzyme catalyzes the polymerization of nucleotides into duplex DNA in 5'→3' direction but does not possess a 5'→3' exonuclease replacement activity. Its inherent 3'→5' exonuclease proofreading activity results in a greatly increased fidelity of DNA synthesis compared to Taq polymerase. Pfu-X Polymerase-generated PCR fragments are blunt-ended. The enzyme is highly purified and free of bacterial DNA.

Fidelity of the enzyme:
Pfu-X Polymerase is characterized by a 50-fold higher fidelity compared to Taq polymerase and a 2-fold higher fidelity compared to standard Pfu polymerase.
ERPfu-X Polymerase = 0.25 x 10-6
The error rate (ER) of a PCR reaction is calculated using the equation ER = MF/(bp x d), where MF is the mutation frequency, bp is the number of base pairs of the fragment and d is the number of doublings
(2d = amount of product / amount of template).

Two-step protocol for amplification of longer fragments (>3 kb)
Please note that for performing two-step cycling a sufficiently high primer Tm is necessary. If Tm of primers is below 65 °C or two-step PCR does not yield a sufficient product quality the three-step cycling protocol is recommended.

1) The annealing temperature depends on the melting temperature of the primers used.
2) The elongation time depends on the length of the fragments to be amplified. A time of 1 min/kb is recommended.
For optimal specificity and amplification an individual optimization of the recommended parameters may be necessary for each new template DNA and/or primer pair.
