Background
Pfu DNA Polymerase is a thermostable enzyme that replicates DNA at 75°C. It catalyzes the polymerization of nucleotides into duplex DNA in the 5´→3´ direction in the presence of magnesium. The enzyme has a molecular weight of approximately 90,000 daltons as estimated from the predicted amino acid sequence and exhibits 3´→5´ exonuclease (proofreading) activity. Pfu DNA Polymerase is recommended for use in PCR and primer extension reactions that require high fidelity.

Guidelines
Note: It is critical to withhold Pfu DNA Polymerase until after the addition of dNTPs; otherwise, the proofreading activity of the polymerase may degrade the primers,resulting in nonspecific amplification and reduced product yield. Assemble on ice.
